Assam: Harappan civilisation seen during Durga Puja celebration in Dibrugarh

DIBRUGARH: The Jyoti Nagar Sarbajanik Shri Durga Puja Samiti in Dibrugarh, Assam has taken a unique and interesting approach this year by adopting the theme of the Harappan Civilisation for their 31st Durga Puja celebration.

Committee secretary Arjun Harlalka said, “We wanted to do something different this year and showcase the rich history and heritage of our country. We believe our Puja will attract visitors because of its unique theme and design. We not only want to pay homage to India’s rich cultural heritage but also educate the public about a lesser-known period in history.”

He added that natural and eco-friendly construction materials have been used in the design of the pandal.

The decision to focus on the Harappan Civilisation is a departure from the more traditional themes often seen in Durga Puja celebrations.
