The Khan Nagar Durga Pandal in Odisha’s Cuttack has once again mesmerised devotees this year by showcasing a grand display of 400 kilograms of silver and a 3-kilogram gold crown adorning Maa Durga.
This year’s celebration carries a unique theme, inspired by Operation Sindoor, a special initiative launched by the organisers as a mark of gratitude towards the Indian Armed Forces. Badribishal Sahoo, a member of the Khan Nagar Puja Committee, said, “Since 1952, we have been performing Shardiya Durga Puja here. This year, the theme used in Mata’s Puja is based on Operation Sindoor.
This time, to showcase the strength of our army and military during Operation Sindoor, and to give a fitting reply to the terrorist attack from Pakistan, we have displayed that here. We have shown how their (Pakistan’s) airbases were destroyed by our Indian Armed Forces and Air Force.” “This year, taking it further, we are giving each woman who comes here a tree, as per PM Modi’s ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative.” he added.
