Giving utensils for Navratri Kanya Puja will be expensive, the price of one kilogram of steel has increased so much



New Delhi. This time in Shardiya Navratri, Kanya Puja or Kanjak Puja is to be done on Navami day on 24th October. A day before this, on 23rd October, on the day of Ashtami, there is a tradition of worshiping girls at many places. Most of the people across the country give steel utensils or other gift items to girls as Dakshina after feeding them, but this time giving steel utensils can be heavy on people’s pockets.

Let us tell you that as soon as Navratri starts, people buy small steel utensils like plates, glasses, bowls, cups, lunch boxes etc. to offer in Kanya Puja. These utensils are purchased on the basis of kilograms only. There is a custom of giving steel utensils especially in Delhi-NCR. For this, not only people are buying from retail shops but Sudhir Kumar, President of Deputy Ganj Wholesale Utensil Market located in Sadar Bazar, says that this time steel utensils have become costlier by Rs 15-20 per kg.

Sudhir Kumar says that there is no raw material for steel utensils in India. Steel sheets come from China. After this, the work of making steel utensils is done in Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Jodhpur, Yamunanagar etc. However, this time due to anti-China environment, steel raw material has already reduced, after this, due to increase in import duty, the raw material has become expensive for the traders. Due to which the prices of finished goods have increased.
