Kolkata gears up for Durga Puja in the time of corona
Snapshots of the finishing touches in the clay artists' colony Kumartuli and in the marquees (pandals) as Kolkata gears up for Durga Puja celebration amid Covid-19. Amid fears that the cases of Covid-19 will spike during the Durga Puja festivity- when a sea of humanity throng the artistically mounted pandals hosting the ten-armed goddess and her children during their annual homecoming, the Calcutta High Court has cracked the whip. The court has declared all puja pandals no entry zones for the visitors to stop the spread of the virus. Images by Avishek Mitra/IBNS
