Our Voice And Yours


Lokvani wishes all its readers a very Hapy Durga Puja and Dussehra!

Durga Puja marks the victory of goddess Durga in her battle against the shape-shifting asura, Mahishasura. Thus, the festival epitomizes the victory of good over evil, though it is also in part a harvest festival celebrating the goddess as the motherly power behind all of life and creation.
