MUMBAI: Civic restrictions on festive celebrations have prompted Durga Puja organisers to go digital for the second consecutive year.
The Bombay Durga Bari Samiti at Haji Ali, which hosts one of the oldest puja events in the city dating back to 1930, will telecast its ‘ghoroa puja’ through digital media. “We have engaged artisans through organisations like Artisan Soul and Haath ka Bana to display their talent at our Anand Mela which will last for a whole month.
A special interview with Satyajit Ray’s son Sandip Ray will mark the legendary film-maker’s birth centenary,” said president Susmita Mitra. The 100-year-old Bengal Club of Shivaji Park is organising its 86th Durgotsav in the club house. “No gatherings will be permitted...We have allocated more budget to our charity project ‘Sampoorna’ which provides free lunch on Saturdays to students of nearby schools,” said president Dilip Das.
