Those who did not have a pandal nearby to celebrate Durga Puja or were reluctant to walk through the crowded streets for ‘darshan’ this year didn’t miss a thing.
They simply went electronic. Website designing companies connected to the CCTV cameras of pandals in Ranchi and Dhanbad the state of Bihar, allowing live broadcast to those who were deprived of the puja experience. From October 21 www.puja.dhanbadonline.com went live allowing devotees glimpses of not one, but about ten pandals in the city. The website also offered interactive competitions such as the best pandal, best lighting, best management, followed by a photography contest on the “festive mood” theme. Voting is open till the end of October and awards will be distributed on November 5. Later, Diwali and Chhath celebrations will also be telecast live through this portal.
In the Steel City of Jamshedpur, it was Apostle Technologies and Kendriya Durga Puja Committee (KDPC) who allowed the same through their website www.jamshedpurpuja.com The portal also offered relevant information on the pujas committees, complete with maps and other details. Other sites beyond Bihar provided “e-anjali” and “e-aarti” where flowers and prayers could be offered online to digital images.
