In a Durga Puja pandal in Begusarai, US President Trump is shown in place of Mahishasura. According to the organizers, it is a symbol of their tyrannical economic policies on India, in which Mother Durga is killing her. This pandal has become a topic of discussion.
Patna: While the grand statues of Maa Durga are decorated in the puja pandals every year during the festival of Durga Puja, this year the pandal of the public Durga temple at Vishnupur Chandni Chowk of Begusarai has come under discussion. In this pandal, Maa Durga killed Mahishasura with her spear, but this time no one else is shown as Mahishasura but US President Donald Trump.
Unique theme became attraction of people
In the pandal, the traditional statue of Maa Durga is shown riding on a lion and killing Trump with a spear. Trump’s face emerges from pain and fear, and the poisonous snake hangs in his hand. This unique scene caught the attention of the devotees and tourists visiting there and the pandal became the center of discussion.
According to the chairman of the public Durga Puja Committee, Vishnupur, whenever there has been atrocities on the earth, then the incarnation of Maa Durga came out. This time in place of Mahishasura, we are presenting Trump as a tyrannical form. His atrocities are depicted as a symbol due to the increased economic burden on India on visas, taxes and essential goods.
What did the villagers say
The devotees who came to the pandal expressed both happiness and surprise by seeing this unique statue. Many people said that such a creative statue not only attracts attention but also works to spread awareness in the society. At the same time, pictures and videos of this pandal are also becoming increasingly viral on social media.
Committee members say that the theme is not only a political criticism, but a symbolic message against atrocities and injustice. Just like every year in Durga Puja, Mahishasura is killed and the message of the victory of good over evil is given, similarly US President Trump was presented as a tyrannical.
