Although the festival is traditionally rooted in Bengali culture, it has become a pan-Indian affair in Hyderabad, drawing in people from all walks of life. The celebrations here have grown in scale and grandeur over the years, making it one of the most awaited cultural events in the city. The celebrations in Hyderabad are marked by beautifully crafted Durga idols, elaborate pandals, and rituals that span over five days.
