The pandals are artistically decorated and visited by people, prasad (offering to God) is usually made in the form of khichdi. Various stalls are set up with foods from various parts of the country. Dishes such as chops, puchka, kathi rolls, mishti, mishti pulao and jalebi are made during the festival.
