A bit of facts why Durga Puja is one of the most auspicious occasion for Bengalis:

It does not discriminate:
Durga Puja is the only puja where the Pandits beg. The priests must beg for handful of soil from the sex workers. It is said that the soil outside their house is most purest. It also brings all of the sections of society together +

& the puja will be incomplete even if a single caste is left out. It is also said that Mahishasura had tried to molest & humiliate Maa Durga before she destroyed him. Hence the soil is taken from brothels to respect the women who have been humiliate & shunned by the society.

It represents the feminine and strength of women:
Durga is a Hindu goddess who is worshipped as an embodiment of creative feminine force or Shakti, believed to be the fierce form of Parvati. She is the Mother of the Universe & hence she never discriminated her children (humans) +

It also pushes away the sexism where the women are sidelined by Mahishasura when he asks the gift of immortality from any male or god or animal, leaving the women as thought they are weak. It kills the patriarchy views of the demon and sits victorious on her lion with a smile.

her ten weapons:
- shankh: source of creation
- trishul: purity, desire & inactivity
- lotus: spiritual consciousness
- chakra: righteousness
- bhala: destroy the negative
- thunder: firmness of spirit
- sword: knowledge & intellect
- bow & arrow: energy
+

- snake: upward moment of the intellect
- flame: wisdom

Last but not the least, bengali and their love for food it is just another excuse to fill our tummy. You all can add your own points or facts too
