Summary:
Thane: With just a few days left for Navratri, the Bengali community in city is all set to ring in the Durga Puja celebrations. After visiting the temple and seeking Durga Maa’s blessing in the morning, we will be visiting the popular Durga pandals in the city as well as a few in Mumbai. On this day, we fast through the day and break this fast after the puja in the evening. While my family and I go to the Gaodevi mandir in the morning for prayers every year, we have taken leave from work to go a little after noon during this auspicious time this year. This is the only time in the year where we can feast on some delicious bhog, mutton and chicken rolls, cutlets and various authentic Bengali fish delicacies, a major chunk of our celebration will include meeting relative and friends at the pandals and feasting together,” said Kavita Majumdar, a Ghodbunder Road area resident..
