Dussehra At Muzaffarpur

Today is the ninth day of Navaratri. And it is just by chance that today My Dad has got holiday, unlike all the Sundays and other holidays. This was a chance for me to roam around the city to visit all the Dussehra ceremonies. Well! At 8 in the morning we started for our trip. That was not the best time to visit the places, but we just wanted to avoid the rush hour. And this cost us a lot of degradation in the looks of the idols.

Okay! Let me start from the beginning. We had planned to take a round of the city. Those who are from Muzaffarpur, they will have the ease in understanding my visiting route. We started from our home, that is near Bhagwanpur. First place of stop was Bhagwanpur. The next places were Maripur, Imli Chatti, Sariayaganj, Pankaj Market, Durga Astahn at Andigola, Banaras Bank Chawk, Garib Asthan, Kalyani, Motijheel, DharamShaala Chawk, Kalam Bagh Chawk, Chatta Chawk, Lenin Chawk and Gobarsahi Chawk respectively.

The main attractions were at Pankaj Market and Durga Asthan. This was just by chance that we entered Garib Asthan Mandir. It was a big surprise for me to see bhajan-kirtan going on there. Well! I think this is unusual here where you only get devotional songs on loudspeakers. All the way we could see people busy with all the busy stuff and the loudspeakers blaring as loud as those could.

I have put the photographs of the places I have visited today. The pictures must have been at their best if I would have gone in the evening, but I have stated the reasons earlier. Anyway this is a good glimpse of Durga Pooja at Muzaffarpur. Pictures look attractive but those would be more if I would have been there in the evening. Now, this is the evening time, my Mum has gone with Dad to have her trip.
