All Devi devotees especially Bengalis observe Mahalaya on No moon day in the Hindu month of Ashwin or Ashwayuja. This day is also known as Pitru Amavasya, and Sarvapitri amavasya. Mahalaya signifies the forthcoming Navratri that comes on the seventh day before Durga Puja and celebrated across Bengal for four days from the 6th day of Navaratri. This year Mahalaya 2010 festivity is begun on the October 7 at 3:49 AM and concludes at 12:15 AM on October 8.
The Mahalaya marks the advent of the goddess of supreme power, Durga. The gloomy fortnight of Aswayuja is celebrated as the Mahalaya Paksha or the fortnight especially blessed for offering oblations to the departed intimates. During the Mahalaya, all family members remember their ancestors. Various shlokas are chanted early in the morning in the Puja mandaps.
As of this day, the 'Devipaksha' starts that marks the end of 'Pitri-paksha'. On this day, many throngs go to the banks of river Ganga in clad of dhotis to offer prayers to their dead relatives and forefathers. This service is called 'Torpon'. This day is put up with vast significance for the Bengalis. According to the legends, Shree Rama performed Durga Puja before he set for Lanka to rescue Sita from Ravana.
The Puranas states that King Suratha used to worship the goddess Durga in spring. So, Durga Puja is also familiar as Basanti Puja. The beginning of "devipaksha", the day of Mahalaya, the Gods and Goddesses came around to arrange themselves for Durga Puja.
On the day of Mahalaya, Bengali people wake up early on in the morning and perform songs from the Devi Mahatmyam (Chandi) scripture. Offerings to the intimates are made in homes.
On the death anniversary of the ancestor, the service is also held. The shraddha is usually performed on the bank of a river or lake or at one's own house. The families may also make a pilgrimage to places such as Varanasi and Gaya to perform Shraddha.
