Snapshots of the finishing touches in the clay artists' colony Kumartuli and in the marquees (pandals) as Kolkata gears up for Durga Puja celebration amid Covid-19. Amid fears that the cases of Covid-19 will spike during the Durga Puja festivity- when a sea of humanity throng the artistically mounted pandals hosting the ten-armed goddess and her children during their annual homecoming, the Calcutta High Court has cracked the whip.
