<entity_0> (pronounced ), also called <entity_1>(দুর্গোৎসব) (pronounced ), is an annual Hindu <entity_3> originating in the Indian subcontinent which reveres and pays homage to the Hindu goddess, Durga. Durga puja is also referred to by the names of related Shakta Hindu festivals such as <entity_2>, celebrated on the same days elsewhere in <entity_4>; such as in Bihar, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Kerala, and Maharashtra, Kullu dussehra, celebrated in Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh; Mysore dussehra celebrated in Mysore, Karnataka; Bommai golu, celebrated in Tamil Nadu; Bommala koluvu, celebrated in Andhra Pradesh; and Bathukamma, celebrated in Telangana. This probably signifies the Hindu belief that the goddess is "not merely the power inherent in the growth of crops but the power inherent in all vegetation".The <entity_3> is a social and public event in eastern and northeastern states of <entity_4>, where it dominates religious and socio-cultural life, with temporary pandals built at community squares, roadside shrines, and temples. The Rajputs of Rajasthan worship their weapons and horses in the related <entity_3> of <entity_2>, and some historically observed the sacrifice of a goat, a practice that continues in some places. Yet, this <entity_3> of Bengal is likely much older with the discovery of 11th and 12th-century Durga puja manual manuscripts such as Durgotsavaviveka, <entity_1> Prayoga, Vasantaviveka and Kalaviveka.
