Mahalaya 

Mahalaya is a very important occasion for Bengalis all around the globe as the day signifies the beginning of Durga Puja festivities. Mythology says that the three supreme Gods - Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara - created Goddess Durga to kill the evil Mahishasura who couldn't be defeated by anyone. 

On the special day, the Goddess also comes down to Earth with her kids Ganesh, Karthik, Saraswati and Laxmi to meet the people on Earth. That's when the Durga Puja festival hosts the Goddess in many different regions of the world. Mahalaya also marks the end of Pitru Paksha. Pitru Paksha is a 16 day period when Hindus pay homage to their ancestors.
