Navratri 2025: 400 kg silver, 3 kg gold crown adorn Durga idol in Cuttack
The Khan Nagar Durga Pandal in Odisha’s Cuttack has once again mesmerized devotees this year with a grand display featuring 400 kilograms of silver and a 3-kilogram gold crown adorning Maa Durga.
This year’s celebration carries a unique theme inspired by Operation Sindoor, a special initiative launched by the organizers as a mark of gratitude toward the Indian Armed Forces.
Badribishal Sahoo, a member of the Khan Nagar Puja Committee, shared, “Since 1952, we have been performing Shardiya Durga Puja here. This year, the theme used in Mata’s Puja is based on Operation Sindoor. We have showcased the strength of our army and military during Operation Sindoor, giving a fitting reply to the terrorist attack from Pakistan.”
He added, “We have depicted how their (Pakistan’s) airbases were destroyed by our Indian Armed Forces and Air Force. Taking it further this year, we are giving each woman who visits here a tree, as part of Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative.”
