Hindu community celebrating Kumari Puja
Hindu devotees are celebrating Kumari Puja amid religious fervour and festivity across the country today.
Kumari Puja, a ritual for worshipping goddess Durga in the form of a young girl, is going on at puja mandaps across the country.
Kumari Puja is held either on Mahashtami or Mahanabami.
According to Hindu scriptures, Kumari Puja commemorates the killing of Kolasur by Goddess MahaKali. Kolasur had occupied the heaven and the earth. When the helpless deities approached Mahakali for help, she was born again in the form of Durga and killed Kolasur.
