Vendors display idols of Saraswati in Bhubaneswar on Monday
BHUBANESWAR: Like several other festivals, Saraswati Puja scheduled on Tuesday will also be celebrated in a low-key manner across the state due to the Covid pandemic. The markets are missing the usual buzz, bringing no relief to idol-makers or shopkeepers.
A day before Saraswati Puja, markets saw a trickle of customers. “This year, the usual crowd is missing so the sales are also down,” said Santosh Sahu, a shopkeeper at Unit-1 market.
With most educational institutes closed on Tuesday, people are planning to hold the puja, celebrated to welcome spring and worship the goddess of knowledge, in their homes.
