Durga Puja Parikrama 2016

This year, my Durga Puja Parikrama has been short. The year 2016 witnessed a rain-interrupted Durga Puja which of course did not curb the enthusiasm of the Bengalis. I am a resident of Baishnabghata Patuli Township, which is a prime location nowadays as far as real estate market is concerned. The number of people living here in Patuli has risen significantly over the last few years due to a lot of new constructions that have taken place. Patuli celebrates Durga Puja with the same pomp and glory as in other parts of Kolkata and West Bengal.

Durga Pujas organized in our locality are famous for achieving remarkable awards and recognition   and the various criteria in which these pujas have won the awards include pratima or idol, decorating the pandal, lighting, theme et al. I covered the Durga pujas in BP Township and the surrounding neighborhoods for the last four years (2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015), I also did it this year but I did not take my camera with me due to the rain factor.

I covered the following pujas: Baishnabghata Patuli Sarbojonin Durgotsab (H Block), Baishnabghata Patuli Upanagari Sporting Club Sarbojonin Durgotsab, Patuli Central Club Sarbojonin Durgotsab, Uttar Purba Baishnabghata Patuli Sarbojonin Durgotsab, Kendua Shanti Sangha Sarbojonin Durgotsab, Jatrashuru Sangha Sarbojonin Durgotsab, Patuli Ghoshpara Mahilabrindo Parichalito Sarbojonin Durgotsab, Rabindrapally Jubak Sangha Sarbojonin Durgotsab, Briji Kalyan Samiti Sarbojonin Durgotsab, Chaitali Club YMCA Sarbojonin Durgotsab, Amra Kojon and Anandamela Sporting Club Sarbojonin Durgotsab. In addition, I went to SIRSA, my childhood place where I stayed for 10 long years to relive the moments of Durga Puja celebrated there. This year, people of all ages defied the rain and went out to capture the glimpses of this popular festival. I used my Gionee P5W mobile phone to take all these snaps. Next blog coming up soon! See you till then.
