Midnapore, Oct. 14 -- Digha has traded its familiar Christmas and New Year glitter for a spectacular Durga Puja makeover, with the state government rolling out an elaborate cultural extravaganza along the coast for the first time since the change of government in West Bengal.
The beach town in East Midnapore has been illuminated with colourful lights, elaborate decorations and cut-outs showcasing Bengal's cultural heritage under the 'Maa Aschen Durga Puja 2026' programme, organised by the state Information and Culture Department under the supervision of the district administration.
The festive celebrations have also extended to Tajpur, Mandarmani and Shankarpur, turning the coastal belt into a major attraction ahead of the Puja holidays....
