Kolkata, Oct. 13 -- Union Home minister Amit Shah is scheduled to visit Belur Math on Saptami morning. He is also expected to visit several Durga Puja pandals during the day and experience Bengal's festive spirit.
Sources said Shah, who could not visit Bengal on Mahalaya, is expected to be in the state on the first Saptami since the change of government. He will reportedly head straight to Soujanya from Kolkata airport.
On the morning of the following day, Sunday, which coincides with the second Saptami, Shah is expected to visit various places in Bengal.
He will begin the day with a visit to Belur Math. From there, he will proceed to the Durga Puja organised by Deshbandhu Club in Bally. He will then return to Soujanya.
At around 1:30 pm, Shah is expected to visit the Chetla 24 Palli Durga Puja.
At 2 pm, he will leave Chetla for the historic Shobhabazar Rajbari Puja. He will then visit Sreebhumi Puja. After completing his visits, Shah is expected to depart for Delhi.
The grand event at Eden Gardens received widespread appreciation. Earlier, it had been reported that Amit Shah would attend the event at Eden Gardens on Mahalaya evening. However, his visit was subsequently cancelled.
The BJP government's intention to make this festive season special for the people of Bengal became evident on the evening of Mahalaya.
