Feels great to be in Tripura for Durga Puja celebrations after a span of 4 years.
Best part: Less crowd, no woke theme pandals and only Bengali Puja songs (no cheap Bollywood item numbers in pandals).

Also no BS political posturing and appropriation of Hindu deities for cheap theatrics such as this happen in my hometown.

In Tripura, we also do not desecrate our Durga pandals under the pretext of secularism.
No mental gymnastics of this level is allowed here

For these reasons and more, I will recommend you to visit Tripura during the time of Durga Puja. You can experience the confluence of indigenous culture, the rich history of the State and more.
