Yesterday 12 July, was Bipad Tarini Puja. I was not aware of it. My maid came early yesterday and said she needed to go home early as she was fasting the whole day.
This is the worship of Durga who is one takes away all troubles. As legends go, Narada had narrated to a king on the banks of the river Karatoya, that this was the Goddess who had relieved Shiva's pain, when he had consumed poison during the churning of the cosmic ocean.
This river is in prsent day Bangladesh, but reduced to a stream.
This was also supposed to the Goddess to whom Krishna prayed.
Then he talks about a queen who had asked for cooked beef, as a close maid of hers consumed that. Though the queen had ordered it secretly, the king heard of it and was about to kill the queen. The Queen asked the goddess to help her, and the beef changed to flowers.
I understand that this is a worship that is performed by women.
