Why Eyes Are Painted on Goddess Durga on Mahalaya

Mahalaya marks the beginning of Sharadiya Navratri in Sanatan Dharma and falls on the new moon day of Ashwin Krishna Paksha. In 2026, Mahalaya is on October 10, Saturday. On this day, many states including Bengal complete the painting of eyes on Goddess Durga's idols, a ritual known as Chakshu-daan. This tradition symbolizes the goddess's awakening and has roots in ancient scriptures like Durga Saptashati. While Bengal shifted this ritual to Mahalaya, Mithila still performs it on Maha Saptami.
