Jharkhand/Gumla: The Kansir Village Durga Puja Committee of the Raidih block of the district organizes Durga Puja with devotion every year. Villagers voluntarily set dates for Kanya Pujan, from one to ten pujas daily, and the grand Kanya Pujan ceremony is a sight to behold.
Khemchand Jha, the chief priest and founding member of the Durga Puja Committee, stated that since 1994, the worship of Goddess Bhagwati has been performed with great devotion. The entire village participates in the ceremony. This year, the chief worshippers are Gagan Kumar Singh and Khileshwar Singh, while the assistants are Krishna Thakur and Kumbhakaran Singh. The reciters are Rajendra Pandit and Phool Kumar Sharma.
Tribal communities are also present.
A distinctive feature of the organizing committee is that the tribal community actively participates in the Durga Puja.
