Rains And Durga Puja

Ma Durga will come this year by boat. Hence, the Bengal would flourish
with crops. But, the weather office is warning us that during the
festival of Durga Puja, Bengal would have to face rains heavily.
Monsoon has come late. So, it would leave us lately. And, 10th
October, the usual date of monsoon to say 'good bye' to Bengal fall
after the puja. Therefore, the organisers of Durga Puja in Kolkata
are going to prepare puja pandals in such a manner that it would
combat rains. Some puja committees are taking 'water' as their theme
and some utilising a few elements in such way that the pandals will
"flourish" during rains and its beauty would reveal to all.

So, don't worry, prepare yourself to hop pandals and determine your
favourite Puja pandals, select the best Durga in your opinion, and
inform it at http://priyopujo.com
