The shadow of ‘weather’ on Durga Puja! System being built in the Bay of Bengal, alert of heavy rain in these states

On the one hand, while there is a boom of Durga Puja, Navratri and Dussehra across the country, the pandals are decorating and people are immersed in the festive atmosphere, on the other hand the weather is preparing to bring a big ‘twist’. A new system is being built in the Bay of Bengal, which can make these festivals fun.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a major alert saying that there is a possibility of a low pressure area over the Bay of Bengal.

What does it mean?

In simple words, whenever such a system is formed in the Gulf, it brings a lot of moisture with it, resulting in heavy to heavy rainfall.

Which states are the biggest threat?

According to the Meteorological Department, this system will have the biggest impact on the states of eastern and central India. The states that need to be the most careful are:

• Odisha
• West Bengal
• Jharkhand
• Bihar
• Chhattisgarh
• Coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh

Will the color of festivals be dissolved?

The biggest concern is that the time of this rain coincides with the main days of festivals. The IMD has warned that many parts of these states may receive heavy rainfall during the main days of Durga Puja, ie Saptami, Ashtami, Navami and Dussehra (Vijayadashami).

This can have a direct impact on the programs of visiting the puja pandals, the fairs of Dussehra and Ravana Dahan.

What to do?

If you live in these states and are planning to roam in worship, then keep some things in mind:

• Be sure to check the latest season updates of your area before leaving the house.
• Do not forget to keep an umbrella or raincoat with you at all.
• Make plans only keeping in mind the weather for programs in open fields.

This news will definitely create some concern for the festival organizers and the general public, but having in advance can help you manage your plans better.
