Rediscovering Durga Puja in Delhi

Thousands of people descended upon Chittaranjan Park in New Delhi, the mini-Bengal of the national capital, as Durga Puja celebrations rediscover their pre-pandemic form with larger than life idols of the deities and glamourous pandals erected in every corner of this southern Delhi locality. A festive spirit visible all around as besides attending the prayer sessions, there is a lot more for the people to experience — from the best of authentic Bengali cuisine to toys and rides for the children. Residents of the C R Park say they are excited to see the vibrancy and colours return and the festivities continue right until early hours of the morning each day.
