Grand feasts and pandal-hopping marked the celebrations on Maha Navami - the penultimate day of the five-day Durga puja festival - with revellers seen lining up before prominent pandals in the city, mostly dressed in traditional outfits.
At Ekdalia Evergreen and College Square, two of the many big-ticket pujas in the city, people turned up in lakhs to catch a glimpse of the traditional artwork.
Panchayat minister Subrata Mukherjee, who is the chief patron of Ekdalia Evergeen Puja, said, "Apart from the illumination and the traditional artwork, our puja is revered by the devotees as we follow the rituals very strictly."
