বাঙ্গালী দুর্গাপূজা কাউন্টডাউন 2023
সকল কে জানাই আগামী দুর্গাপূজার আন্তরিক প্রীতি ও শুভেচ্ছা।
Durga Puja Countdown is now started. It is the most significant festival celebrated in Kolkata, West Bengal. It is a ten-day celebration that marks the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. During this festival, the city is transformed into a vibrant and colorful carnival with elaborately decorated pandals (temporary structures) erected in every nook and corner. The pandals showcase exquisite art and craftwork, and devotees throng the streets to offer their prayers to Goddess Durga. The highlight of the festival is the grand procession or “immersion” of the idol on the last day, where the entire city comes together to bid farewell to the goddess. Durga Puja in Kolkata is not just a religious festival, but it’s a cultural extravaganza that showcases the rich heritage of the city and its people.
