Just About Everything

Durga Puja 2021 It was Nabami and Durga puja was almost over....I wanted to make the most of the festive spirit and take a  look at some of the puja pandals nearby. Pandal hopping by maintaining social distance is not really feasible! Somewhat possible in Salt lake though. And the best way to go pandal hopping is to walk and see the puja pandals.  So off I went and it felt so normal (although wearing a mask was not normal but I am assuming that will stay for sometime) to go pandal hopping. The festive spirit can be so uplifting.  Here are some pictures from my Nabami walk. The Durga pandals are from the GD, HA  and HC blocks in Salt Lake, and nearby ones.

This post has some of the popular and unique Durga pujas from South Kolkata. I am sharing just a few representative snapshots from each of these puja pandals. These pictures do not do justice, each and every one of these pandals have so much more detail, it would take many more posts to cover all these in detail…and by then the next year’s Durga puja would have arrived.... These Durga idols are from Kasba, Deshapriya park, Rashbehari avenue, and Kalighat areas of South Kolkata. You may like:  Innovative Durga puja pandal in South Kolkata with a message
