It’s the best time of the year for all Bengalis around the globe! Durga Puja 2020 is finally here and even though we are amidst a pandemic, the festive spirit still remains the same in people’s hearts.
Recently, the Calcutta High Court declared the puja pandals as “no-entry zones” for visitors and banned pandal-hopping keeping in mind the rising coronavirus cases in the city, reports Hindustan Times.

However, since most of the world has gone virtual, why shouldn’t pandal hopping go virtual as well? So here’s a look at some of the most iconic Kolkata Durga Puja idols of 2020 that people shared on social media!
