The Ray family in Gomai village of West Bengal's Ketugram has worshipped only Goddess Durga's face instead of a complete idol for around 450 years. According to local legends, the tradition began after the idol broke and the family's ancestor, Gobinda Ray, received divine instructions in a dream. On the day of immersion, the face is carried around the village.
