As the biggest festival in the state—rivaling those in West Bengal—Durga Puja brings lakhs of devotees and tourists from across India, filling the streets with energy and excitement.
Picture this: magnificent pandals, some costing up to crores of rupees, light up the night like a starry sky. With over 806 pujas organized right in the Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) area, the city truly becomes the cultural heartbeat of Tripura. But with such huge crowds expected, the AMC isn’t taking chances. They’ve rolled out strict traffic rules and safety measures to keep things smooth, safe, and peaceful during the festivities.
In an exclusive chat with , AMC Mayor Dipak Majumder shared his thoughts. “Durga Puja used to be the top festival for Hindu Bengalis, but now it’s a celebration for everyone,” he said. He pointed out how the AMC steps up big time during the event—tackling cleanliness, easing traffic jams, and controlling pollution to make sure the joy doesn’t turn into chaos.
One highlight? The Joynagar immersion ghat, North Tripura’s largest spot, sees over 400 idols immersed every year. It’s a sight to behold! Majumder also gave a shoutout to Chief Minister Manik Saha for guiding the state toward disciplined and lively celebrations, even reaching remote areas.
