Two of the largest puja stores in the country have seen an uptick in sales just at the beginning of their peak period.
The Little Store and Praimsingh’s Pooja Bhavan, both located in Curepe, say the reopening of religious institutions saw temples rushing last minute to obtain murtis in time for Ganesh Utsav festivities.
Sunil Lalla tells us that devotees can pay as little as $35 for a murti, or as much as $5,000 for the more elaborate ones.
