“The idea was discussed with everyone a year ago. We decided on a theme which is relevant in present times. The 76-feet Durga idol and a map of India attached to the back of the idol together symbolize our motherland India. Four other idols at the foot of the Durga idol depicting terrorism, family-centric politics, corruption and neo-nationalism which are disadvantages and problems that India is facing has been shown. The idea is to show that these four problems are showing India in the bad light,” Manjit Kalita said.
The Bishnupur Durga Puja Committee has set around rupees 35 lakh as this year’s budget. Committee members said that steps have been taken for precautions for the safety of the idol.
