মহালয়া/MOHALOYA is a very special and auspicious day for all Bengalis and from
today NAVARATRI also started so this is a festive season for all of us. In the
morning of Mohaloya all men used to go to the ghats of Ganges for praying to their
ancestor and after that Debi Pokkho starts. Durga puja is the main festival of
Bengal and at the same time central and north India celebrating NAVARATRI which starts right after MOHALOYA and end on the 10th day which we call
DASHAMI or DASHERA.
Sitting far away from home but still I feel like to have all the essence of Durga puja, so I made some authentic KHEERER NARU or MALAI COCONUT LADDU.
