Bhubaneswar: The Bahrain Odia Society (BOS) has celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi by following all the measures against COVID-19.
The puja was held at the residence of BOS Founder, Dr Arun Kumar Praharaj.

All those attending the puja physically were checked for coronavirus prior to the commencement of the rituals and they wore masks and ensured social distancing among themselves during the entire event.
