Ranchi, Oct 11: The capital Ranchi has been painted in the colours of Durgotsav. After the ‘Belvaran’ ritual on Monday evening, the doors of all Durga Puja pandals in the city will be opened for the devotees. At the same time, crowds of devotees will also come out to visit the pandals and Mother Shakti. The worship of the mother will start with the entry of Nava Patrika on Tuesday.
This time the light of Durgotsav may fade a bit. Because, in view of the danger of corona infection, under the guidelines issued by the government, small puja pandals without themes have been made in the city.
The height of the statues installed in these has also been kept very low. At the same time, lighting and decoration have also been done in a limited area. According to the government instructions, this time neither a fair will be organized nor food stalls will be set up around the puja pandals.
In the temple premises located at Doranda Chappan set, the plaque of the idol of Maa Durga will be unveiled at 7 pm. State Finance and Food Supplies Minister Dr Rameshwar Oraon and other dignitaries will be present on this occasion. Corona guidelines are being followed in the pandals of the capital under the leadership of Alok Kumar Dubey, Chief Patron of Ranchi Mahanagar Durga Puja Committee.
