The most important festival of Bengalis are here. Durga puja,– orgenisers are all set to blend in aesthetics and tradition in their theme focused pandals and Durga idol.
According to a report by PTI, while the Hindustan Park Puja in south Kolkata has put on display everyday use items like ‘janta’, stitched kantha and needle and reinvented the era when children flocked to their grandmas to hear fairy tales, Bhabanipore 75 Palli is introducing ‘arshinogor’ (city of mirrors). Through the gate of a 45-foot elephant the revellers will go to the ‘garbha griha‘ (main spot) where the glass-panelled walls will retain references of Rajasthani folk art and mirror ourselves.
At 83-year-old Shovabazar Burtola Sarbojonin Durgotsab, organisers are highlighting the “once-vibrant coffe culture” of North Kolkata. “There will be rows of old world cafes which will lead upto the main pandal named interestingly Sri Durga Cabin”, Puja committee secretary Sayak Nandi said, reported PTI.
