Mahalaya marks the start of the ' Devipaksha ' and the end of the ' Pitri-paksha '. The traditional six day countdown to Mahasaptami starts from Mahalaya. Goddess Durga visits the earth for only four days but seven days prior to the Pujas, starts the Mahalaya. The enchanting voice of Birendra Krishna Bhadra fills up the predawn hours of the day thus marking the beginning of "Devipaksha" and the beginning of the count-down to Durga Puja.  Myth regarding Mahalaya:  Pitri- Paksha is a 16 day period during which Hindus pay homage to their ancestors.

Another second year Production Engineering student said that at least the VC should have come up with an apology over the attack on students by police under his instructions. Members of Students Federation of India (SFI), however, said they were not a part of the class boycott programme. “We have called for a day-long students strike and not class boycott. That is the unanimous decision of the students here,” said Debojyoti Das, state secretary, SFI. The university authorities, on the other hand, in a bid to pacify the students had instructed the posters which were put up on Wednesday, to be torn off the university walls. “It had actually backfired. When I went to take off the poster...
