Idol makers in Delhi expressed their plight as idol business ahead of the festive season has drastically dipped due to the coronavirus-induced lockdowns. <br />Idol makers have taken loans to provide bread and butter to their families. <br />They claimed that season which used to be worth Rs 20,000-Rs 30,000 is not even touching Rs 5, 000. <br />One of the idol makers said, “Comparatively, the work is far less than last year. Our season used to be of Rs 20,000 – Rs 30, 000, now idols worth Rs 5, 000 are also not getting sold.” <br />The first day of Navratri is being observed on October 17.
