Pratiksha: The Ephemeral Splendor of Durga Puja

Subhadeep Banerjee

In autumn's embrace, with joyous wings,

Arrives the goddess, Durga, as nature sings.

Her footsteps alight upon hallowed ground,

As fragrant blossoms, her praises resound.

From distant realms, eager hearts arise,

Yearning for her grace, beneath azure skies.

Whispers of devotion dance in the air,

A symphony of faith, woven with care.

The rivers rejoice, in her glorious reign,

A cascade of devotion, quenching every pain.

With vermilion hues, her idols are adorned,

Love's tapestry woven, where souls are reborn.

In twilight's embrace, the city awakes,

A kaleidoscope of lights, mirth it makes.

From alleys and lanes, hearts intertwine,

In fervent devotion, a divine shrine.

Oh, radiant Durga, we eagerly await,

Your arrival, like monsoon's longed-for fate.

In your presence, we find solace and grace,

A timeless connection, no time can erase.

So, let us unite, in this joyous communion,

Under the canopy of your divine dominion.

With love and devotion, our spirits are ablaze,

In anticipation of Durga Puja's resplendent days.
