Cuttack: In the history of Cuttack, the Karona-influenced Dashahra and Bhasani festivals have been added as a new chapter. With the exception of the 4 mandapas with the curtain pulling on the mandapars, the 6-foot idol worship in all the 7 mandapas has created a new tradition, while today’s Bhasani festival has also been completed under a completely new arrangement. The demolition of all the puja mandapas under the Cuttack Metropolitan Peace Committee has been completed by evening. Never before has such a record been made. In the past, more than a hundred idols have been dumped in the Goddess Gada of Katyodi, but this time, temporary ponds have been set up in 14 places in the city. A maximum of seven sheep were dumped in Devigarh, 24 at Belvue Point, 23 at Karthikeshwar Point and 13 at Ghatak. The other sheep have been dumped near Nehru Palli, Gurudwara Ghat, Maritime Museum, Chahta Shani Mandir Ghat and Balighat Gada in Kathyodi, Sector 9 and Sector 11.
