CELEBRATE THE HOLIEST DUSSEHRA AND DURGA PUJA FESTIVAL AT BHUNBANESWAR

The rains stop. Festivals start. Rakshabandhan and Janmashtami kickstart the festival season and Diwali is heralded by Dussehra. For Bengalis and for communities in the South, Dussehra is of even more importance and Durga puja is celebrated with pomp and fervour. It is time to make this season a special one and go all out to celebrate Durga Puja and Dussehra in Bhubaneswar.

One of the better ways to enjoy Durga Puja and Dussehra is to go in for a holiday package offered by Hotel Hindusthan International, one of the best hotels in Bhubaneswar. There are several options offered by HHI Bhubaneswar hotels to celebrate Dussehra. One package is affordably priced 2 nights stay with breakfast that gets you a discount on food ordered, buffet breakfast and welcome drinks. Slightly up the scale is a 2 nights with breakfast and major meal package.

Even better is a 2 nights with breakfast and major meal as well as other facilities. The top package offers 2 nights with breakfast, all meals and stay in a suite. Regardless of the package one opts for, at HHI Bhubaneswar one can enjoy the finest Bengali delicacies, a spread of lavish and temptingly sumptuous foods that include Bhapa Ilish, Murg Dak Bungalow, Kankra Kosha, Gost Kolkata Biryani and Prawn Malai for lunch.

Accommodation-wise HHI Bhubaneshwar, one of the leading Bhubaneswar hotels, offers luxurious rooms and suites that form part of the packages for Dussehra Puja Packages that are in effect from 26^th September to 10^th October. The culinary accent is on Bengali cuisine served in its elegant restaurant. After lunch or dinner one can take in sightseeing to some delightful spots in and around Bhubaneswar.

Also, one can roam about the city at night and visit the beautiful pandals, worship Durga Devi and take part in celebrations or watch some of the shows that include dances and drama as well as music performances. HHI staff members are helpful and point guests to the right spots worthy of a visit during Durga pooja in Bhubaneswar and even assist with local transportation and guides if required.  

Why is Dussehra so important and celebrated by some people with more fervour than Diwali? Dussehra is triumph of good over evil, the victory of Rama over Ravana, the victory of durga over Mahisasura. While Gujarat celebrates Dussehra with nine days of garba-ras, in the East of India, it is Durga pooja culminating with immersion of the idol in waters after a grand procesion. It is believed Durga returned to Mount Kailas after performing the holy duty of killing the demon. The sentiment of religious fervour pervades the atmosphere and the city comes to life at dusk, continuing till late at night, a wonderful way to have an enjoyable time in Bhubaneswar for Dussehra celebrations.

HHI’s superior services make the stay enjoyable and help guests get the most out of the ongoing Dussehra celebrations and Durga puja in Bhubaneswar, an experience they will cherish for a long time. The packages are worth a try.
