The 25-day-long festival, which started April 3, will end April 28 with the return of Maa Budhi Thakurani, the presiding deity of the Silk City, to the temple.

Thakurani Yatra is celebrated to mark the visit of the goddess to her father's house at Desibehera Street.

With dazzling lights and decorated pandals, the chariots of deities like Sri Ram, Laxman, Parasuram, Jwalamukhi and Mahalaxmi, and the storytelling arts are the major attractions for visitors during the festival.
