We are excited about ushering in festival seasons with Soikot’s biggest event of the year, Durga Puja, after a two years. As we know the pandemic that hit entire world in 2020 changed our way for life, but after the vaccines were rolled out the life is limping back to normal, but with the variants there are still danger lurking around and we cannot let our guard down completely. As a result, we will be following some precautions for protecting our members. First of all we expect our members and their children above 12 are FULLY VACCINATED.
  1. There will be no stadium sitting, chairs will be placed around tables.
  2. You are requested to wear masks when not siting at your table.
  3. No line for food, people will be called by table numbers.
  4. Seniors, please sit at your table, we will bring food to you.
  5. Limited number of people will be allowed on the stage. But we understand taking photos with your friends and family along with Protima is a must, so please be considerate to others, and make an attempt to maintain physical distancing.
  6. For anjali gather around the table, flower will be brought to you by volunteers and will be collected. Do not climb up the stage.
  7. You are requested to wear masks when you are at the hallway and roaming around the common area.
  8. Back stage has limited capacity, so allow fellow participants to use the space for makeup and get ready for their show. Be on time for your program and adhere to the schedule.

Masks will be available, hand sanitizers will be placed around the venue, on the tables, kitchen, main stage area, back stage etc.Accordion Sample Description
