Police officers at BNP-6 Malighat in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district have created an extraordinary place of worship dedicated to Goddess Durga. The law enforcement staff built and maintains this religious site, which attracts thousands of worshippers during Navratri festivities. Sacred urns totaling 121 fill the temple grounds, with each vessel representing answered prayers from grateful believers. The collection grows annually as more devotees add urns after receiving divine blessings.
Jaykant Mandal from BNP-6 serves as the primary ceremonial leader this year, conducting regular worship alongside several other priests. The celebration began September 22 and continues through October 2, honoring nine distinct forms of the goddess. Devotees currently pay tribute to Maa Chandraghanta, the warrior deity symbolizing bravery and divine protection. This autumn festival marks Durga's legendary triumph over the demon Mahishasura, representing good conquering evil across Indian spiritual tradition.
