South Kolkata is an important part of Kolkata. In contrast to the rest of the city, it is less crowded and more contemporary. More apartment buildings and green spaces can be found here. And it is also known as the main hub during the time of Durga puja. As here you can get the real essence of Durga puja.
On September 26, the Indian holiday season officially began. Hindu devotees fast for nine days during the festival while also worshipping Goddess Durga in nine different incarnations. Durga Puja pandals in Kolkata have fresh themes every year that are each distinctive and creative in their own way.
In Kolkata, devotees can witness a variety of themed Durga pujas, from pandals to the Durga idol. In keeping with the celebrations of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Babu Bagan Sarbojanin Durgotsav Puja pandal at the Dhakuria in South Kolkata has unveiled a remarkable pandal made of lakhs of commemorative coins minted after independence.
The Babu Bagan Sarbajanin Durgotsav Samiti used thousands of commemorative coins produced since independence to develop the theme for this year’s Durga Puja pandal, which is “Maa Tujhe Salaam.” This year marks the 61st year of Babu Bagan Sarbajanin Durga Puja.
To realize Sujata Gupta’s artistic vision and welcome Maa Durga in a setting of celebration for the nation’s 75th anniversary of independence, tributes have been made to the great freedom fighters of the nation.
This puja pandal’s theme highlights wonderful people and liberation fighters through Maa Tujhe Salaam. Upon entering, one can sense the influence of illustrious Indians who actively participated in the country’s freedom struggle and helped to form both our current India and several Indian independence movements.
