In Bihar, a huge number of devotees are thronging to offer prayers and darshan of Devi Durga at Puja Pandal in Patna, Muzaffarpur, Gaya, Bhagalpur, Purnea, and other cities. Puja pandals across the state are showcasing diverse themes, including iconic buildings to holy temples.
Adorned with attractive lights, these Puja Pandals have chosen popular themes of Kedarnath Dham, Tirupati Balaji, Swaminarayan temples, and Burj Khalifa, taking care of the elegance and artistic finesse of their original structures.
This year the Puja Committees are emphasising spreading the message of cleanliness and sanitation. The Patna Municipal Corporation has roped in volunteers and its personnel to promote the wisdom of segregation of waste among masses at different Puja Pandals.
To make people aware of solid waste management, different kinds of games are being organised during the festivities.
