On a mystical eve, just before the enchanting arrival of Durga Pujo, two kindred spirits were beckoned by an otherworldly whisper, urging them to embark on a journey to commune with Maa Durga. As the moon cast an ethereal glow, they heeded the call and ventured forth into the enigmatic, starlit night….
Dear Bandhu, I Ashish Vidyarthi alongside my lovely wife Rupali Barua, we're taking you on an enchanted journey! There’s a whiff of excitement in the air as we step out into the night, to give you a glimpse of “behind the scenes” of Preparing for one of the most spectacular festivals in the world, Sharodotsav or Durgotsava. During this time Kolkata, the City of Joy, transforms into an enchanting wonderland. Our first stop, the Ballygunge Cultural Association, where Durga Pujo has been celebrated for a whopping 73 years. The Pratima, the idol of Goddess Durga, stands in all its glory, traditional yet captivating. What's remarkable is that every year, they weave fresh creativity into their pandal design, making each experience unique. As a pleasant surprise, we meet a dear friend, Anjan, the driving force behind this enchanting setup. The intricate artwork, the devotion of the craftsmen, it all comes together to create a world of wonder that is Durga Pujo.
But our journey doesn't stop there. We move on to Samaj Sebi Sangha, an institution that's been celebrating this festival since 1946. Here, we witnessed a unique theme, and it wasn't just about the grandeur. It was about recognising and honouring the artisans, labourers, and craftsmen who make this magic possible. This pandal stands as a tribute to these unsung heroes without whom Durga Pujo would be incomplete. Rupali & I were met with an abundance of love from the people of Kolkata.
Durgotsava is not just a festival; it's a celebration of people. It's a mosaic of colours, cultures, and traditions that come together to create something truly magical. This festive season is more than just rituals and ceremonies. It's about uniting people, bridging cultures, and celebrating life. No wonder the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognized Durga Puja as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.
So, here’s an invite to all the wanderers and travellers out there, if you haven't experienced the magic of Durga Pujo in Kolkata, we urge you to do so. Come and be a part of this extraordinary celebration that unites hearts and souls. The City of Joy welcomes you with open arms to witness the enchantment, the artistry, and the warmth of its people. We promise You won't be disappointed; you'll be enchanted.
Alshukran Bandhu,
Alshukran Zindagi.
