Nuclear Explosion, Chhau Dance Among Durga Puja Themes in Ranchi

News 18  

With permission being accorded to celebrate Durga Puja sans Covid-19 restrictions after a gap of two years, organisers in Ranchi have based their pandals and idols on myriad themes ranging from a nuclear explosion to Chhau dance and religious structures. The Ranchi Railway Station Durga Puja Committee has depicted a mushroom cloud to spread the message of environmental damage caused by nuclear tests. Ashok Choudhary, president of the Bakri Bazaar puja’s organising committee, Bharatiya Yuvak Sangh, said, “Artists were brought from West Bengal’s Paschim Medinipur district and they built the pandal after two months of hard labour.” He expects the pandal to be a crowd-puller. Ramesh Singh, the president of Chandrasekhar Azad Durga Puja Samiti organising the puja, said eco-friendly items have been used in erecting the marquee and the committee has prohibited the use of plastic on the premises.
