Every year the expenses are increasing on the occasion of Puja. In 2019, the British Council said that 32 thousand 327 crore rupees were spent on the puja. Which is 2.6 percent of the state's GDP. It is believed that the number may exceed 5 lakhs if tourists from other countries come to Bengal for Puja.E-commerce is forecast to invest 12.15 percent more than last year.
