With the beginning of 'Devipaksha', Mahalaya is observed six days before Durga Puja, the biggest religious festival of the Bangalee Hindu community. 

The television show is viewed by a lot of people specially children in Bangladesh at the dawn on the day of Mahalaya.

Marking the day, special programmes of Mahalaya will be arranged at different temples, including the capital, tomorrow at dawn.

The Hindus will remember and pay homage to their ancestors, who passed away, by performing puja, and offering the Brahmins clothes, food and sweets in their names.

Mahanagar Sarbajanin Puja Committee will hold a special programme marking the Mahalaya at Dhakeshwari National Temple at 6.30am.

Similar programmes will also be arranged in different temples in the capital city and across the country.

Although Durga Puja will formally begin on October 9 on the day of Maha Shasti, the advent of Goddess Durga, will be heralded tomorrow.    —BSS
