Local communities and colonies assemble to burn Ravan effigy using Rama avatar aiming at the 10 faces with the arrow to commemorate the victory. However, this special ritual too went missing in many parts of the city due to the covid effect.
The decorative items, leafy foods and fruits’ vendors who sell at residential areas and furthermore along interstates claim to have lost the pace and said it is totally low key compared to previous years. “Indeed, even we have less stock to sell in view of the circumstance,” a flower vendor at Koti said. At sanctuaries, the long lines of vehicles for puja were likewise not noticeable on Ayudha Puja Day, and most celebrated puja at the comfort of their homes.
