Summary

Description
English: The photograph shows the idol of Goddess Chandi (Durga) together with her eight eternal companions (Ashtanayika). The larger idol is that of Goddes Chandi while the smaller idols (four each on the left side and the right side of Goddess Chandi). The idols are associated with the Chandi Puja (worship) that is organised every year during the months of November or December at Barisha area in Behala of Kolkata city of West Bengal state, India. The worship of the idols began in 1792 by Maheshchandra Roychowdhury of Sabarna family of Barisha. He is said to have began worship after he had a divine dream which suggested him to begin worship. A small ghot (small pot used to worship a deity in Hinduism) was found by him the next day in the pond beside his ancestral home at Barisha. A detailed account of this worship can be found in the following website: http://www.barishachandipuja.com/
