Before Durga pujo, shops selling clothes, sweets and other festive stuff stock up on all such kinds of things. Various types of cultural events are organised in different areas while puja organisers compete against each other through theme-based puja pandals. The beauty of Durga Puja is that every pandal has a story to tell through its art and décor. People stand in long queues just to enter the pandal so that they can enjoy the magnificent artwork and décor.
All the festivities end on the day of Vijaya Dashami, when the Goddess is bid farewell, through Visarjan, which is immersing the Idol in water. It is a sad and emotional moment, but comes with the promise that the Goddess will return the next year.
