According to Drik Panchang, the date and time of Durga Puja are decided based on the lunar calendar. Hence, in the Bengali calendar, the date of Durga Puja is not fixed.

Although the next day of Mahalaya marks the beginning of Devi Paksha, the ritualistic Durga Puja begins on the sixth day of Devi Paksha. The narration of Chandi Patha in West Bengal begins on the day of Mahalaya which falls on a day before Devi Paksha begins.

Durga Puja during Devi Paksha is observed as Navratri in other places. Although Navratri is also dedicated to Goddess Durga and overlaps with Durga Puja, the customs followed during Navratri are completely different than those of Durga Puja.

Goddess Durga is the primary deity who is worshipped during Durga Puja. Durga Puja also involves the worship of Lord Shiva as the companion of Goddess Durga, who is a form of Goddess Parvati herself. Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess Saraswati, Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartikeya are also worshipped during Durga Puja, as they are considered the children of Goddess Durga.
