Hi! I’m an Indian student currently living in Halle, and I’m planning to come to Köln with a friend on 17th for Sashti. We’re both Bengali and have just completed one year in Germany, so we’re really looking forward to visiting the Durga Puja in Köln and experiencing it together. 😊
I had a small question regarding the lunch on Sashti. While booking the tickets, I noticed that lunch for the 17th is not mentioned, but your recent Instagram post says that lunch will be served on Sashti. So I was a little confused about whether lunch will be available on the 17th.
Since we’ll be travelling from quite far away, it would be really helpful to know the arrangements so that we can plan our travel timings accordingly. Also, if lunch is available, could you please let us know whether it is included in the ticket price or if we need to pay for it separately on the day?
We would really appreciate some clarification. Thank you so much! 😊
Our Durga Puja – Cologne is set to kick-off at 16h00, so there is no lunch planned!
Hello
Is registration mandatory even for just darshan on Saptami?
Thanks
Yes! Without registration there is no access to our Durga Puja.
