Our Correspondent
Kohima Oct. 17 (EMN): Governor of Nagaland PB Acharya has conveyed his greetings and best wishes to the people of the state on the occasion of Durga Puja and Dussehra.

In his message, Acharya said that Maa Durga is perhaps the most-widely worshipped deity of Shakti.

Durga means one who is difficult to approach, however, since she is the mother of the universe, she is the personification of tender love, wealth, power, beauty and all virtues.

“The festival signifies virtue to fight against all evils and the triumph of righteousness over evil,” said the Governor in his message.

The Governor also said that it is the foundation for peace, prosperity and amity in the society and hope that Durga Puja and Dussehra will “inspire all to follow the path of virtue and usher in place and happiness.” He also called upon the people to pay obeisance to Mother Durga and enjoy the festivals in the true spirit of peace, joy and brotherhood.
