New Delhi: This is the time of year when festivals begin. Festivals like Navratri, Dussehra and Deepawali are celebrated, but this time the effect of Corona is clearly visible on the festivals too. The festival of Navratri will begin from October 17, but this time it will not be as bright as every year. The grand pandal of Maa Durga and the giant statues sitting in them will not be seen.

In Delhi, the Kejriwal government has given permission to set up a pandal, but with strict guidelines. There are restrictions on fairs, swings, food stalls etc. But it is so late in getting this permission that most of the Durga Puja organizers have decided not to place the pandal. Durga Puja organizer Utpal Ghosh at Chittaranjan Park says that every year Durga Puja used to come in awe in CR Park area before it started.

They told that preparations for setting up the pandal started months ago. Every year 9 Durga Puja pandals were installed in Chittaranjan Park area, but this time there will not be pandals. Grand statues of mother will also not be seen. Kalash Puja will be done for 1 day. However, online arrangements have been made to see the worship of Kali temple, which the devotees will be able to see sitting at home.
