The rush to meet Tagore began on Sunday, Ashtami day. However, Navami could interfere with Bengali devotion. Rain can cause the entire state to get wet. For the time being, the Meteorological Department has forecast rain in five of the state's districts, including Kolkata during Navami. According to the air office, the low pressure region that had developed over the south and west bays of the Bay of Bengal on Saturday night became a clear depression. By Sunday afternoon, it will be more intense. Additionally, according to meteorologists, the low pressure system may strengthen during the following 24 hours and deepen into a depression.

The depression is currently 600 kilometers south of Paradwip in Odisha, 760 kilometers south of Digha, and 900 kilometers south-southwest of Bangladesh's Khepupara coast. But according to meteorologists, it could shift to the northwest within the next 12 hours. It will then travel north and northeast, affecting West Bengal and Bangladesh. Three days will pass before that impact fades. And because of this low pressure, Kolkata and five other districts may begin to see light rain on Monday.
