Jajpur town has come alive with vibrant celebrations as Kali Puja has commenced across the city. Devotees are worshipping Goddess Shyama Kali at 17 pandals, while 26 other pandals are dedicated to the worship of Lord Lakshminarayan.
The festivities have drawn large crowds eager to participate in the traditional rituals and cultural programs.
