Why were Gods Wonderstruck in Durgacharan Ray's novel, Debganer Martye Aagaman?

Solution
The reasons:

(i)The gods were wonderstruck by the big, modern city – the train itself, the large ships on the river Ganges, factories belching smoke, bridges and monuments and a dazzling array of shops selling a wide range of commodities.

(ii)The gods were so impressed by the marvels of the teeming metropolis that they decided to build a Museum and a High Court in Heaven.

(iii)The city of Calcutta in the nineteenth century was brimming with opportunities – for trade and commerce, education and jobs.
