From skyscrapers to cockroach-themed pandals: Patnas Durga Puja pandals in spotlight
Digital Desk | Patna, Oct 18 (IANS) As the nine-day Sharadiya Durga Puja nears closure, the festive fervour is high on the streets of Patna and other adjoining cities in Bihar, with thousands of devotees thronging the uniquely designed Puja pandals to pay obeisance to Goddess Durga. The turnout of devotees at these pandals is set to rise substantially on Maha Ashtami and Navami. With the sound of drums and cymbals, chanting of mantras, vibrant lighting and grand decorations, the entire atmosphere has become imbued with devotion. Besides devotion to the Goddess, devotees are captivated by the design and uniquely themed Puja pandals, which are drawing plenty of attention. The grandeur of these pandals is captivating both the devotees and social media users. Across the state, from Patna to Katihar and Munger, pandals have been designed as replicas of world-famous landmarks. A Durga Puja pandal in Vinodpur, Katihar, has become a major talking point due to its unconventional theme: the idol of Goddess Durga is installed amidst decorations featuring giant cockroaches and spider webs, a theme that aligns with the ongoing political discourse surrounding a Cockroach Janata Party. This distinctive style has sparked curiosity among the public. However, the organisers stated that the theme has no connection to national politics or any political commentary. According to them, it is an entirely fictional concept, created solely to entertain visitors and children attending the festivities. At Patnas Dakbungalow Square, an approximately 80-foot-tall pandal has been constructed, based on the architectural style of the famous Khajuraho temples in Madhya Pradesh. Inspired by the artistic architecture of these temples, the structure offers devotees a glimpse into religious heritage and craftsmanship. In Boring Road, another notable place for Durga Puja celebrations, a grand replica of the Farakka Barrage has been created. Standing about 55 feet tall and 55 feet wide, this pandal seeks to bridge religious faith with social concerns, drawing attention to the perennial issues of floods, riverbank erosion, and the challenges faced by farmers in Bihar. Another pandal at Patnas Boring Canal Road is also hogging attention because of its unique theme. The pandal, standing at about 100 feet tall and 150 meters long, is adorned with nearly 20,000 bells. A 16-foot-tall idol of Goddess Durga has been installed inside. Another pandal grabbing attention is in Bariarpur block of Munger district, where the 'Badi Durga Maharani' is drawing crowds because of its immense size and scale. The pandal here stands 250 feet tall and is modelled after the famous Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia. The Durga Puja pandals in Bihar exemplify how religious festivals integrate art, architecture, social messages, and local creativity alongside tradition. In some places, replicas of grand structures have left visitors in awe, while elsewhere, unique themes have become the talk of the town.

Mouni Roy reunited with 'Brahmastra' maker Ayan Mukerji during Durga Puja
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 18 (IANS) Actress Mouni Roy reunited with the 'Brahmastra' maker Ayan Mukerji as she visited the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal in Mumbai. Looking absolutely beautiful in a yellow saree, golden jewellery, and open hair, Mouni was seen posing with Ayan for a memorable click in the pandal. In another picture, these two were joined by Ayan's cousin and actress Tanishaa Mukerji for another wholesome click. The 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' actress was also seen lovingly serving food to the devotees in the pandal. Mouni captioned the post, Dont be afraid, my child. I am always with you. Lay all your sorrows and fears at my feet. May courage be your strength, may faith be your light, and may your world be filled with love. Always remember, you too are a manifestation of divine feminine power (sic), folded hands and red heart emoticon. Earlier, 'Brahmastra' actor and a close friend of Ayan, Ranbir Kapoor, was also seen taking blessings at the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja pandal. Adding a musical touch to the Navratri celebration, Ranbir gave an impromptu singing performance at the pandal. Joining renowned singer Harshdeep Kaur on the stage, he crooned the popular song Kabira from his 2013 film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, which was also directed by Ayan. Along with meeting the filmmaker, Ranbir also warmly greeted the paparazzi present at the venue, even posing for pictures with them. The 'Barfi' actor opted for a red-and-gold kurta, along with white pyjamas as he arrived at the Durga Puja pandal. Many other celebrities attended the Durga Puja celebrations this year, including Kajol, who was accompanied by her children, Yug and Nysa Devgn, veteran actor Jaya Bachchan, and filmmaker Anurag Basu. This year marked the 80th year of the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja celebrations, a long-standing tradition of the Mukherjee family
Chelsea goalie Martinez says he 'will be back in few weeks' after successful surgery for broken jaw
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 18 (IANS) Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who has undergone successful surgery after fracturing his jaw during 2-0 Premier League win at Everton, said, He will be back in a few weeks. Martinez was injured following a collision midway through the second half of our 2-0 victory over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday. He was taken to hospital for further assessment, which confirmed a fractured jaw that required surgery. Thanks to everyone for the messages; the operation went well. The most important thing is that we won and kept a clean sheet. We'll be back in a few weeks, Martinez wrote on his social media while sharing his photo from the hospital bed. Martinez made his first save to deny Merlin Rohl but was then penalised for holding onto the ball too long. From the resulting corner, a second cross from Jack Grealish found an unmarked Thierno Barry, who headed straight at Martinez. With the half-hour mark approaching, Martinez was at full stretch to tip Grealishs bouncing volley over. Midway through the second half, Martinez bravely cleared an inswinging free-kick and collided with Jarrad Branthwaite and Thierno Barry in the process. After lengthy treatment totalling ten minutes, the keeper was replaced by Penders, making his Premier League debut. Pedro Neto goals right at the start and end of the second half secured Chelsea a superb 2-0 first win against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. That clean sheet has been elusive, but it was thoroughly well earned for Chelsea, as Martinez and his replacement Penders stood tall when required. Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso was delighted with the way his Chelsea team acquitted themselves at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with a blend of defensive discipline, attacking cohesion and clinical finishing from Neto helped the club earn three points and a first league clean sheet since January.

'Echoing RSS statements, should read more': Congress, RJD on BJP chief's remarks against Rahul
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 18 (IANS) The Congress and its ally Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Sunday launched a sharp attack on Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Nitin Nabin over his remarks against Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of repeating the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) narrative rather than addressing substantive political issues. The criticism came a day after Nabin, while addressing a gathering in Patna on Saturday, accused Gandhi of acting as a pawn of a foreign toolkit gang and working against the interests of the country. He also alleged that the Congress was unable to accept the progress India had made under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and was consequently attempting to undermine the country's development. Reacting to Nabin's comments, Karnataka Congress President B.K. Hariprasad said the BJP chief was merely echoing statements made by the RSS and challenged the ruling party to substantiate its allegations about a purported foreign-linked toolkit. Addressing reporters, Hariprasad said, The BJP President, Nitin Nabin, has a habit of simply repeating the remarks given to him by the RSS. If there is a toolkit, let them explain it. Who is stopping them? If he thinks protecting the Constitution and hoisting the tricolour are part of a toolkit, I consider that childish. The RJD also joined the Congress in criticising Nabin. Speaking to IANS, RJD Rajya Sabha member Manoj Jha questioned the BJP chief's understanding of political discourse and urged him to read more before making allegations against the opposition. Hitting back at the BJP leader, Jha said: Please do a little reading, Nitin Nabin ji. I can name dozens of books that explain how, whenever those in power feel threatened, they look for a foreign hand. Someone before him had also mentioned a foreign hand. I have written about this on social media as well. Jha further argued that the BJP chief should rely on substantive arguments and verified information instead of circulating claims. You should read, as you are the national President of one of the world's largest political parties. WhatsApp forwards will not work. Today, the public fact-checks everything. They can fact-check your statements too and clarify everything within an hour. What has your government done about income inequality, the plight of farmers and labourers? he asked. The exchange comes against the backdrop of protests organised by the Congress-led INDIA bloc against the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of electoral rolls.

Digital Desk | Varanasi, Oct 18 (IANS) Panic gripped the Panchvati area in Varanasi's Ramnagar police station limits on Sunday after an elephant went berserk and triggered chaos in the locality, leaving its mahout seriously injured in an attack. According to preliminary information shared with the media by officials, the incident occurred in the Panchvati area, where the elephant reportedly became uncontrollable, creating panic among residents and passersby. The situation turned tense as people rushed to safety amid fears of further attacks, said officials. Soon after receiving information about the incident, teams from the police administration, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and the Forest Department rushed to the spot to contain the situation and prevent any further danger. More than 200 police personnel, along with administrative officials, were deployed in the area as part of the operation to bring the elephant under control. The teams faced considerable difficulty in managing the animal, given the potential threat to people in the densely populated locality. After sustained efforts, the teams finally managed to bring the elephant under control and move it towards the forest area. Officials said the situation was currently under control, although security arrangements remained in place to prevent any untoward incident. As a precautionary measure, residents and other people in the vicinity were being moved away from the spot to ensure their safety. Police personnel and Forest Department officials continued to monitor the situation and remained on alert to respond to any emergency. The incident triggered considerable concern among the residents, with security personnel maintaining a close watch on the area following the operation.

Gwalior truck accident: Amit Shah offers condolences; assures medical aid for injured
Digital Desk | Gwalior, Oct 18 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday expressed deep sorrow over the tragic truck accident near the Sheetla Mata Temple in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior that claimed 14 lives and left 29 others injured early Sunday morning. The Home Ministry Office in a post on X said (in Hindi), The accident that occurred near the Sheetla Mata Temple in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) is deeply tragic.
