Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is set to kick off this year’s Durga Puja celebrations at Sreebhumi in Lake Town on Tuesday. One of the key organizers of this event is Sujit Bose, the state fire minister.
Reports indicate that while Mamata Banerjee will be present to initiate the festivities, the official inauguration of the puja at Sreebhumi will take place the following day, on Mahalaya. This plan is reportedly meant to prevent any controversies regarding the start of puja celebrations before Mahalaya, a significant day in the festival calendar.
This year’s theme for the Sreebhumi puja is inspired by the famous Venkateswara temple in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. The temple recently made headlines due to an issue with laddoos containing traces of animal fat, a matter brought to light by Andhra Pradesh’s Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu.
Additionally, it is expected that Mamata Banerjee will inaugurate at least three new fire service centers in West Bengal during her visit to Sreebhumi.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Durga Puja celebrations unfold.
