When talking about pre-Puja preparations, HeadlinesIndia could not possibly have done without mentioning about the pre-Puja shopping. So, our team landed at some of the famous market places in Kolkata, and found out that Puja preparation can never be complete without shopping! Be it the old market places like Gariahat and New Market, or the new swank malls like Forum, City Centre and Pantaloons, none of the markets experience a dull day before Durga Puja.
With shoppers thronging the market on every day of the week, there is not only a considerable upsurge in the sales, but also a crowd that makes it difficult for one to breathe! The festival-crazy citizens of Kolkata are shopping to their hearts content at this time of the year, when even the stores are offering huge discounts. It has become almost customary for a Kolkatan to buy five sets of clothes for five days of Puja. And not to forget, matching accessories! So what is hot this season? Bold colours, with lots of embroidery and sequins on clothes, says Sonu of Ishtyle, Shree Ram Arcade.
