With Sidur Khela, Bisarjana process starts; 138 idols to be immersed at Sadarghat, 106 today

The biggest festival for the Bengalis have come to an end. Today is Bijoya Dashami and the processions are leading idols to the Sadarghat for immersion. The process has started with residential Durga Pujas and soon the community Puja Committees will lead the idols to immersion.

As per the data shared by Cachar District Administration, a total of 138 sets of idols will be immersed. It is worth mentioning here that this data is based on the number of residences and Puja committees that took permission to immerse idols. There are many who didn’t take permission and yet will proceed for immersion.

A total of 29 Puja Committees have taken permission to immerse idols on October 6 and three will immerse idols on October 7.

Big budget Puja Committees are most likely to immerse their idols tomorrow. One member of the big budget Puja committee said, “Women in our colony participate in large numbers in the immersion procession. Since the roads will be crowded today, we will lead our procession tomorrow.”

Another reason the big budget Puja Committees wait for the second day is to enable devotees to visit the Puja pandals. The three days of Durga Puja witnesses huge rush and so many avoid visiting the big budget pujas. However, the rush has subdued today and so they can get easy access.
