Covid highlights new normal in chovot festivities

The corona pandemic has increased innovation in the state. A new wave of thought, a new normal has come out during the current chovot festival among Malbhatkars. Normally the idol immersions are done in the river or the sea. But now in Malbhat the immersion will be done this time in a well.

SOPs on immersions have been released by the government. After that it is the responsibility of the people. In Malbhat an old well was existing. Locals cleaned it up and a collective decision was taken to do the immersions there.
