Since 2020, the Durga Puja in West Bengal has been a dismal affair. But this year, the organisers are hoping to bring the celebrations back to the pre-pandemic levels, especially in the wake of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s announcement to increase the grant to the Puja committees.
Durga Puja will be celebrated as part of UNESCO’s ‘Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’.
