Dusshera, celebrated differently across India, is unique in West Bengal as Vijaya. Durga Visarjan that is Goddess’ immersion symbolises creation, preservation, destruction, reflecting life’s impermanence.
Kolkata Durga Puja is a festival of creativity. People are hopping from one crafty pandal to another braving humidity or frequent rain. That’s the Puja spirit.
Durga Puja in Kolkata is now an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. But what does this actually mean? What is special about the celebration in Kolkata? What should you expect?
