It's given in the article that 7th and 8th day is given importance to Saraswathy. That's why sarswathy pooja held in southern states.
Let me tell you, my daughter was born on a Mahanavami day. After 5 years, for the first time we are getting an opportunity to celebrate her birthday exactly the same day. (October 20-today is her Date of Birth :P ). Every year, we miss that Thiruvonam star day exactly by one month as Navarathri celebrations always start on Kanni month according to malayalm calender. So, this year, her birthday is so special to us and we celebrate it on Tuesday. May be next occassion on her 10th birthday :)
Durga puja started and as this is the main and big puja of bangali so crackers are in all sides ,a loud sound box and everybody is moving here and there. Happy Durgapuja to all my friends.
Today is MAHA SASTI.
