Kolkata: Family members of Sovabazar Rajbari perform ‘Khuti Puja’ #Gallery
Kolkata: The present family members of Sovabazar Rajbari maintain social distancing amid COVID-19 pandemic, as they pull the rope of 255 years old traditional Rath (Chariot of Lord Narayana) while performing Khuti Puja (The Beginning of the Durga Puja Festival) in Kolkata, on June 23, 2020. More than 250 years old, the Sovabazar Rajbari Puja was started by Raja Nabakrishna Deb. Historical records show that the Puja would even see the British lords and ladies gracing it with their presence. One of the specialties of the puja is its Mithaai Bhog (prasadam). While the Sovabazar Rajbari had the tradition of flying Nilkantha birds on Dashami, after this was forbidden by the Wildlife Preservation Act, they started immersing clay models of the bird along with the Durga idols.
