Basanti Puja

The mention of Basanti Puja can be found in the Markandeya Purana which says that King Surath was the first one to worship Maa Durga in the month of Chaitra. Since then, Maa Durga was worshipped in the month of Chitra until Lord Ram worshipped Maa Durga in the month of Ashvin.

King Surath was the ruler of Vanga Kingdom, a devotee of Maa Durga and also the one who preached about the goddess to the dharti niwasi (earth dwellers). After King Surath lost in a war, he was cheated by his family and other members of the royal family. He then left the capital city of Bolipur, present-day Bolpur.
The king met Vaishya Samadhi, who too was in a similar situation and the two of them met Sumedhas Muni. Sumedhas Muni then advised them to worship Maa Durga.

This is when King Suratha and Vaishya Samadhi worshipped the goddess and this also marked the first Durga Puja. King Suratha and Vaishya Samadhi regained whatever was lost after worshipping the goddess and the King returned to Bolipur. Since then, he started worshipping Maa Durga every year during Bosonto. This later came to be known as Basanti Pujo or the Chaitra Durga Puja.
