In Maharashtra's vibrant city of Nagpur, throngs of people filled the streets to partake in the age-old Marbat festival, a unique 150-year-old tradition celebrated exclusively in this region. As per the time-honoured custom, devotees led a colourful procession, bearing effigies symbolising evil forces. The focal points of this grand spectacle are the clay effigies, known as 'Marbats,' depicting both Kali (in black) and Pivli (in yellow), which captivate the onlookers. The festival culminates in the ceremonial burning of these effigies, symbolising the triumph of good over evil and carrying forward a rich cultural legacy in Nagpur. Samruddhi Mahamarg Bridge Collapse: Under-Construction Bridge Coming Up on Mumbai-Nagpur Super Expressway Crashes in Nashik, No Casualties Reported.
