Durga Pooja in Kolkata is considered to be one of the most beautiful and splendid-looking festivals in India. The pandals with Durga Maa during the festival of Navratri usually attract eyeballs from people all over the state of West Bengal. People are engaged throughout the 9-days with each day of Navratri holding its significance to worship Maa Durga.

To everyone’s amazement, female priests in Kolkata will be taking lead at the famous 66 Pally Puja in the city’s Rash Behari Avenue. Isn’t it interesting that four female priests will be a part of the puja committee members? Undoubtedly, these priests are quite well-learned in scriptures and are professors in their own fields and they can easily perform their role of worshipping Maa Durga beautifully and with full devotion.
When the committee’s in-charge was asked by a media portal on their decision to hire female priests, the response received was when women can be in the form of goddesses, clay modelers, women organizers then why not in the field of priests? Reports are also being circulated mentioning that if the women priests are approved this year then they will continue their association with the pooja committee next year as well.
