Amid a dampened festive mood owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, Durga Puja committees in Kolkata are coming up with various unique ideas and themes for the pandals.
A Durga puja committee in Kolkata, Prafulla Kanak Welfare Association, chose the hardships faced by migrant laborers during COVID-induced lockdown as the theme for its puja pandal in Kolkata. The committee has also installed a statue of actor Sonu Sood to honor his services to the laborers during the lockdown.
Sonu Sood reposted one such pic tweet and wrote, “My biggest award ever.”
