On Mahanavami, the ninth day of Durga Puja, an atmosphere of devotion and faith enveloped the Sultanganj block area of Bhagalpur. From early morning, a large crowd of devotees gathered at various Durga temples and puja pandals. Many families arrived to offer prayers and seek blessings from Maa Durga, bowing before the deity and wishing for peace, prosperity, and happiness for their loved ones.

The Upper Road's Badi Durga Sthan Temple, Main Chowk Bazaar's Nayi Durga Sthan, Sabzi Mandi's Pandali Shiv Durga, Ghat Road, Station Road, Krishnanand Stadium, Bhudan of Masadi, both Durga Sthans of Abjuganj, and Tilakpur were among the many prominent locations that witnessed a massive influx of devotees. In anticipation of the large crowds, police forces were deployed at puja pandals and major intersections in Sultanganj to maintain security. Police personnel were vigilant in controlling the crowds and ensuring law and order, allowing devotees to perform their rituals peacefully.
