Durga Puja is an Indian festival and it was also celebrated in Stuttgart. Around 40 mostly Indians were there worshipping Ma Durga and Ganesha, Saraswati, Lakshmi and Kartikeya.
Durga Puja 2006 in Stuttgart, Germany
It was my first time to get in contact with Hinduism. Usually I feel a deep respect for people who believe. Since I do not know so many things about religion, I do not want to offend anybody by doing anything wrong (e.g. to step on something on what someone should not do). Therefore I did not dare to enter a temple, when I visited Chennai. I just passed or tried to get a glance into it.
But Indians are quite liberally. There are just a few rules to follow, which are normal in daily life. The festival was really amazing and interesting. There is even a bigger Durga Puja in Cologne, Germany. But the best would have been to be in Kolkatte or Delhi to celebrate these days.

Dear,Friend
Durga Puja is the most important festival of Bengalis. Consisting of series of rituals
this five day long homecoming welcome of Goddess Durga is close to every Bengalis
heart and soul.Durga Puja means more to us than just a religious festival.It is a
celebration of life, culture, popular customs and traditions … it is a time for coming
together, of reunion and rejuvenation, of the rebirth of our piousness and last but
not the least, the season to love, to share and to care.
