Another instance of yesteryear's big puja reviving. This Durgapuja situated beside the Spandan complex (elders may recollect it as the Camping ground) was noted to have the most extravagant illumination. During the last few years this 65 years old puja couldn't match up with the theme concept, but this year it astonished the viewers with almost an exact prototype of the famous Red fort of New Delhi.

The mandap is built with plywood & plaster of paris by a Burdwan based decorator under the guidance of a local artist. The interior has been well decorated using broken glass bangles & glass. The Dugra pratima has been by Samarendranath Mishra, a presidential award winning artist from Bankura. `The idol has been built following dimension art of paddy-straw & weighs only 5.5 kilograms' explained the puja committee secretary. Illumination has been a strong point of this Durga puja & it continues.

Nicely arranged show & one of the contenders of this year's awards.
