Bhopal – New Market is buzzing with festive fervor this Navratri, thanks to a stunning new display. The New Market Traders Protection Committee and the New Market Durga Utsav Committee have unveiled a magnificent tableau at the Jay Stambh, a replica of the famous Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple in Mathura.
According to Ajay Devnani, secretary of the committee, the Durga idol has been a fixture at Roshanpura for the last 60 years, but this year’s tableau is the main attraction.
