5 day Durga Pujo festival is one of the most significant festival largely for the Indians from eastern part,
The region comes to life every year as if jolted with rituals, favourite festivities and food stalls, the earthly smell of clay dhunuchi and idols of ma durga and larger than life pandals.
The rituals have been evolved from traditional work of art to
Socio-cultural messeging of what's happening around.
Reminds everyone of why the eastern region was cultural capital of Indian subcontinent back then.
This year too Kolkata has turned into art gallery, themes ranging to food adulteration to acid attacks to climate change to artificial intelligence.
UNESCO recognised Durga Pujo as
World's Largest Public Art Festival as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Many of the Pandals are crowdfunded.
The activities during Durga pujo like having community gathering, food distribution,poetry-drawing competition
Helps integrate Cultural integration with artistic abilities of kids in their formative age.

Happy महाअष्टमी♥️
