It is known as 'Nabapatrika' but in common terms it is called 'Kalabou' because in Bengali 'Kala' means banana and 'bou' means wife. This entire thing is dressed with sari, traditional bengali ladies attire.Actually it is worshiped alongwith Devi Durga for prosperity of agriculture and plants. It will be immersed with durga idol on the lastday (Dasami) of puja ceremony. Durgapuja consists of four days vig. Saptami, Astami (2nd day),Nabami (3rd day)and Dasami.Durga Puja is also called 'Akalbodhan'because in ancient time puja was not performed in this time.
