On the other hand, in case of small pandals, 10 people can participate in the puja rituals at a time and a maximum of 15 people.
Meanwhile, a list of names of those who will enter the pandal has to be prepared in advance. Accordingly, entry will be given after matching the list. Everyone entering the pandal must have both doses of the vaccine. The court has made it mandatory for everyone to wear masks. Police can cancel the permission of the puja if the rules are not followed.
