Cr Park Pandals

Mr Garcetti, who is often seen trying out Indian delicacies, relished Kolkata's famous Jhal Muri and called it "perfect".

Pandal hopping is a ritual during the Durga Puja festival. When so much delicious food is on offer, how can we resist trying it all?

The Chittaranjan Park Kali Mandir Society, the national capital's biggest Durga Puja Pandal, will be among the 50-odd such bodies to not celebrate the festival this year due to COVID-19.
