Durga Ashatmi is also one of the most auspicious days in Eastern India of the five-day-long Durga Puja Festival, celebrated in honour of Mother Goddess Durga. Traditionally, the festival is observed for 10 days, but the actual puja that takes place in the 'pandals' is held over a period of 5 days, starting from Shashthi. This day is also known for 'Astra Puja' (Worshipping Weapons), as on this day, the weapons of Goddess Durga are worshipped.
