Here, pandal hoppers jostled for selfis

Published on: 

The Jagannath Pada Dugra Puja pandal, where Devi Dugra was found moving in a bullock cart, fitted with glowing lanterns and drawn by two buffalos, was a big crowd-puller.

The bullock cart with a cover was a popular selfi spot of visitors to thecpuja pendal.

At the same time, the Jagannath Pada Dugra Puja pandal also displayed India launching Chandrayan as a matter of pride and achievement.

"Ours is an agrarian economy and some 40-50 years ago, most people who lived in villages were familiar with a bullock cart. At the dawn, at least one member of a family would  visit to Khet (agriculture filed ) and use bullock cart for transportation of a variety goods. But the present generation is taking selfi as they are little accustomed with bullock cart which appears curious to them," said a local.

How the bullock cart moves, asked an onlooker to a child whose parents were taking photographs while he was sitting there. Confused over the query, the child replied, it is driven by you, perhaps not knowing what to say.

Besides this, an old Bajaj Chetak scooter was also a popular selfi point.
