We celebrate this puja very nicely in our city. We look forward to Durga Puja every year It is a joyous occasion for all of us. In Calcutta, Durga Puja is a wonderful celebration. Being vacation time, we enjoy ourselves very much.</p> <p>Durga Puja usually lasts for five days. It begins with &lsquo;Shashti&rsquo; and ends with &ldquo;Dashami&rdquo;. In our locality, we decorate the &lsquo;pandal&rsquo; (tent) very nicely . The Honourable Minister of Transport comes for the inauguration of the Puja to our locality . Every year I go with my parents and my sister to visit the pandal and worship the image of the Goddess Durga.</p>
