<h2>What is the significance of Mahalaya and why is it celebrated?</h2>
<div class="w3-justify">
<p><u> Mahalaya</u>: While there are many stories and/or folklore associated with the day, largely, people believe that on this day, Goddess Durga officially begins her journey from <a href="./static/mt kalish.jpg" class="link"><u> Mount Kailash</u></a> -- where she resides with her husband <a href="./static/shi.jpg" class="link"><u> Lord Shiva </u></a>-- to her maternal home on Earth.</p>
<p>To begin with, the day of Mahalaya marks the beginning of Devi Paksha and the end of the <u> Pitri Paksha</u>, the latter of which, is a period of mourning. Hindus consider Pitri Paksha to be inauspicious, because shradhh or death
rites are performed during this period. It is a 16-day lunar period during which people remember and pay homage to their ancestors using food and water offerings.</p>
<p>But Mahalaya is a happy occasion. While there are many stories and/or folklore associated with the day, largely, people believe that on this day, Goddess Durga officially begins her journey from Mount Kailash — where she resides with
her husband Lord Shiva — to her maternal home on Earth. Bengalis celebrate it with much fervour and remark intermittently, about the festive autumn weather and the ‘pujo-pujo‘ feel.</p>
<p>It is believed <a href="./static/maadurga.jpg" class="link"><u> Goddess Durga</u></a> undertakes this week-long journey with her children — <a href="./static/ganesh.jpg" class="link"><u> Ganesha</u></a>, <a href="./static/kartik1.jpg"
class="link"><u> Kartik</u></a>, <a href="./static/laxim.jpg" class="link"><u> Lakshmi</u></a> and <a href="./static/saras.jpg" class="link"><u>Saraswati</u></a> — on a vehicle of her choice. It could be a palanquin or a boat,
an elephant or a horse.</p>
<p>Mahalaya is celebrated roughly seven days before Durga Puja. Every Bengali household wakes up early in the morning — even before the sun — to customarily listen to a collection of songs and mantras called
<a href="./static/maa.jpg" class="link">
<u> ‘Mahishasura Mardini’</u></a>, in the sonorous voice of <a href="./static/bankim.jpg" class="link"><u>Birendra Krishna Bhadra</u></a> . These mantras invoke the Goddess; the most famous one being Jago Tumi Jago (meaning,
‘awaken, oh Goddess!’)</p>

<h2>Chokkhu Daan - The Day When Eyes of Goddess Durga are Painted for Durga Puja in Kolkata</h2>
<img src="./static//mahalayachokh.jpg" class="chokho">
<p class="w3-justify">Durga Puja in Kolkata has its own unique rituals.On the occasion of <em> Mahalaya</em>, the Goddess is invited on earth with rituals and so on this day, the eyes are drawn on the idols in an auspicious ritual called <em> Chokku Daan</em>. It is believed the Goddess descends to earth at the time of drawing the eyes on the idols. <em> Kumartuli</em> or potter's locality is a famous place in North Kolkata where a majority of the idols are made.</p>
