Durga puja celebration keeping in mind the Covid-19 norms. The preparations for the October festival began for Mohammed Ali Park Puja Committee today with the holding of 'khuti puja' to mark the beginning of the construction of the grand marquee where the goddess and her progeny will be housed on the festive days, according to a PTI report.
The puja, which figures prominently in the must see list of the revellers, has returned to its old venue at the sprawling park in the central part of the city this year.
It had shifted to the adjacent fire brigade compound for the past two years due to work on the underground reservoir of the park, the report added.
