At one time Indira Gandhi was also described as Durga.
BTW Is Non-veg(only fish) is offered as bhog in Kolkatta? Here it is offered in some places during Ashtami Puja.

Atal bihari Bajpayi called IG Durga. It was the days when leaders followed some ethics.
Here bhogs in pujas are mostly veg. Not sure if some pujas follow non veg customs.

I had been to Kolkatta during Durga Puja only once and had a chance to visit at least 15 Pandals. The situation is same as that of Kolkatta. Due to lack of space, the organiser put a lot of effort on the Idols, Chandi, Gold plated etc. But in Bhubaneswar as there is big fields and big space, the organisers spend a lot on outside decoration. Big Bamboo decoaration with themes varies from year to year. I have one of the big Durga puja called Sahid Nagar Durgapuja just 2 minutes walking distance. So every night is fun night.

BTW when do Kolkattans visit the pandals? In Cuttack people start after early dinner, i.e 8 PM to 1-2AM. But in Bhubaneswar it is normaly 4PM to 10 PM.
