Mahalaya is celebrated in Bengal. It is believed that Goddess Durga begins her journey to her maternal home on Earth from Mount Kailash after Mahalaya.
It is also generally after seven days of Mahalaya that celebrations for Durga Puja, which is one of the biggest festivals in Bengal, begin. Though Durga Puja celebration in the state this year will be low-key due to the coronavirus pandemic.
