Today is Maha Saptami, the first day of the main event of Durga Puja.
In the evening of Panchami and Shashti, the streets of Agartala were already flooded with people.

The tide came down on the night of Panchami itself, as most of the big puja pandals are opened on Friday itself.

Visitors were seen in various pandals even during the daytime on Saturday.
Men, women and children are enjoying the Puja regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds.

The mesmerizing themes of pandals and idols are attracting people of other districts to the pandals of Agartala city.

For example, the Meenakshi temple theme of Bharatratna Club of Ushabazar, Burj Khalifa theme of Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Club, Somnath temple theme of Aikatan Yuva Sanstha, Santipara, Vaishnodevi theme of Lal Bahadur Club and many other clubs have already gained popularity among people.

Therefore, a massive crowd of pandal hoppers would be observed in the day and evening undoubtedly.

As per the instructions of AMC, various roads and streets would be closed for traffic control and managing vehicles in the overflow of pandal hoppers.

Although there is a chance of rain, it cannot reduce the enthusiasm of people and prevent them from visiting pandals across Agartala and all over Tripura.
