The streets of Shakhari Bazaar gear up in vibrant hues to celebrate Kali Puja. Talented artisans breathe life into the clay effigies of Mother Kali, transforming the once-insipid statues into the fearless black earth-mother. On the first moon day of Ashwin, Hindu devotees pay homage to the powerful goddess, Kali, to remove evil from the world.
