The unexpected downpour in Pune on the eve of Dussehra caused chaos among shoppers and vendors, disrupting plans for the festival. The rain, lasting about 20 minutes, led to significant waterlogging in areas like Kothrud, Bavdhan, and Aundh, making it challenging for people to navigate the wet conditions.
Roadside vendors selling festive items like marigold flowers and coconuts had to quickly cover their goods to prevent damage, but unfortunately, some suffered losses due to ruined merchandise. Shoppers also faced difficulties completing their purchases, leading to frustration and delays as they sought shelter from the rain.
Today, as the last day of Navratri, many Garba and Dandiya events were planned throughout Pune, with participants dressed in traditional attire and showcasing intricately decorated outfits. Despite the preparations, the unexpected rain dampened the mood of the excited crowd, who had been looking forward to a night of festive celebrations.
