Traffic Restrictions Implemented for Navratri Festival in Nagpur’s Chitar Oli
The city is preparing for the grand celebration of the Navratri and Durga festival, scheduled from October 3 to October 12, 2024. A key highlight of the festivities will be Chitar Oli, renowned for its idol-making workshops, which is expected to see a surge in visitors placing orders for Durga idols.
