Vendors arranged colourful assortments of food in stalls set-up surrounding the puja mandap.

One of the highlights of the fair is tiler naru (a sweet snack made of sesame seeds), a favourite among sweet lovers.

Everyone including children and elders is flocking to the stalls to enjoy the festive treats.

Among the popular sweets at the fair there is narkeler naru (a sweet snack made of coconut meat).

Rows of stalls surround the mandap, each display adding its own colour to the fair.

At the centre of the mandap, a temporary water fountain has been set up.

Heavy bargaining goes on between buyers and sellers.

Trays of colourful naru (sweet treats) are arranged and displayed to attract customers.

Batasas (a sugary confection) are another special attraction of the fair.
