For Jagadhatri Puja in Krishnagar the district administration and police have spared no effort in ensuring elaborate security measures.
In addition to coloured lights in Chandannagar that have attracted people globally, alpana, a unique form of ancient classical Indian art, will be an added attraction at the forthcoming Jagadhatri Puja in the area.
Its slogan is ‘Chandannagar er Maa Jagadhatri ebar Bhawanipur e’ (goddess Jagadhatri from Chandannagar is visiting Bhawanipur). Goddess Jagadhatri is another incarnation of goddess Durga.

Devotees worship and celebrate reincarnation of Goddess Durga in the name of Jagadhatri and create the splendid ambiance with high festive spirits.
Illumination through lights is a common phenomenon in almost every festival. Technological advancement has had its impact in all walks…
