Will the Durga Puja celebrations in Kolkata see a reported 5% increase in footfall compared to 2025 by 2026-12-05?
Why
The typical year‑on‑year change in Durga Puja footfall in Kolkata is modest, with historical variations usually within ±3 %. Recent coverage shows a serious stampede in October 2026 and political attacks on book stalls, both of which could dampen visitor numbers rather than boost them. For a reported 5 % increase to materialise by 5 December 2026, the city would need to see a rapid rebound in confidence and a strong promotional push that has not yet been documented.
