President Pranab Mukherjee today performed rituals on the occasion of the Durga puja at his ancestral house in Mirati in Birbhum district.
As he had done yesterday, he travelled to Mirati in the morning to take part in the family puja and from there he went to Japeswar Shiva temple near Mirati.
On return he interacted with local people and then came back here to the house of his elder sister Annapurna Banerjee where he is staying.
The President also attended a guest, Uttarakhand Governor Aziz Qureshi, at Kirnahar.
Qureshi came to meet Mukherjee at 2 PM and was with him for about an hour.
Mukherjee had arrived at Kirnahar on September 30 on a four-day visit.
This is the third Durga puja for Mukherjee after being sworn in as the President.
