Kolkata: Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal announced he was putting to use over 6 kg of gold ornaments to decorate the idol of the goddess Kali at his own puja this year. He has been organising the puja since the party came to power in West Bengal in 2011.
“This year there will be ornaments weighing 520 Bhori (more than 6 kg). Last year it was 350 bhori (more than 4 kg) of ornaments,” Mondal told the media persons here.
On being asked about the whereabouts of the jewellery, Mondal said, “People give to the goddess with love and I am the custodian of the jewellery.”
The Trinamool Birbhum district party chief’s extravagant puja celebrations came to limelight in 2018 when he used over 2 kg gold to decorate the diety.
