Dubbed as the biggest festival for Bengalis, no Durga Puja is complete without shopping. Bengalis love to wear different outfits over the five days of the festival. Dressing up is an essential part of Durga Puja.
Local sale of saris, especially those made on handlooms by skilled artisans in Tangail renowned for their colours and designs, has apparently gone up marking the upcoming Durga Puja.
Customer turnout at various shopping centres, fashion houses and other retail outlets in Dhaka is gaining momentum ahead of Durga Puja, the biggest annual festival for the Hindu community, with traders saying sales will soon exceed that of the pre-pandemic era.
