50% immersions on Dashami in Kolkata

The pandemic not only compelled Puja organizers to restrict entry of the visitors to the pandals this year, but also triggered a change in the immersion procedure. While organizers of several big-budget Pujas were in a hurry to complete the immersion on Dashami itself, some innovated and chose not to take the idols to the immersion ghats at all. The rush saw nearly 50% of big-budget and community Pujas complete the immersion on Dashami.
