#DurgaPuja2022 Thread:
A compilation of pandals in & around #Kolkata with an unique theme or outstanding artwork!
1) Nawpara Dadabhai Sangha-
1st silicon murti in WB & perhaps country to depict Goddess Durga as a sex worker to change the social mindset & usher inclusivity.
2) Kakurganchi- #DurgaPuja depicting post poll violence, in memory of slain #BJP worker #AbhijeetSarkar whose family still awaits justice.
3) Sovabazar Rajbari: The first sarbojonin (public) #DurgaPujo of #Kolkata
4) Santosh Mitra Square- Red Fort comes to Kolkata to mark #AzadiKaAmritMahotsav
5) Ballygunge 21 Pally- A pandal for those who love to travel
6) Hindustan Park: An ode to the unsung daily wage earners who don’t have too many reasons to celebrate due to the lockdown.
7) Singhi Park- In honour of cartoonist Narayan Debnath who passed away earlier this year- Nonte Phonte recreated
8) Ekdalia Evergreen has recreated a southern temple also the puja of late #SubrataMukherjee
9) Mukundupur- The transgender community worships ‘ardhanariswar’ half nari, half purush power.
Last but not the least, a new friend was made who did pandal hopping with me.
Hope you all enjoy this thread as much as I did visiting these beautiful pandals.
