Kolkata's Durga Puja pandals, including those from Suruchi Sangha and Mudiali, are being dismantled and transported for reinstallation at the upcoming Jagaddhatri Puja in Chandernagore. This initiative not only recycles the elaborate structures but also provides employment for local artisans. Meanwhile, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan visited several Durga Puja pandals in Sambalpur, performing prayers and engaging with the public about local issues during the Dussehra celebrations. In Bargarh, known as Odisha's 'Rice Bowl', prominent pandals showcase Bengali traditions and attract many devotees. Additionally, Indian Railways is launching a special Vande Bharat Express between Patna and Delhi starting October 30 to accommodate increased festive travel demand, with modern amenities and a convenient schedule. These events highlight the cultural significance and communal spirit surrounding the Durga Puja festivities across the region.
