A Durga Puja pandal in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, has taken a unique and topical approach this year by portraying “American tariffs” as the demon that Goddess Durga slays.
This creative depiction comes amid ongoing trade tensions between India and the United States, where Washington has imposed a 50% duty on certain imports from India. Additionally, an extra 25% duty was levied in connection with India’s purchase of Russian oil.
The pandal serves as a symbolic representation of the current economic challenges faced by India, highlighting the impact of these tariffs and the resilience symbolized by Goddess Durga’s victory over adversity.
