Durga Puja performed in autumn all across the country is possibly the most exciting
event in Kolkata.Apart from being a religious ceremony, Durga Puja is more a social
event, enjoyed by people from all walks of life regardless of their position in the
society.Kolkata being a cosmopolitan metro,people from outside West Bengal but domiciled
in Kolkata are actively involved in this gorgeous socio-religious function. This year the
focus of the Puja had thematic bias.Influence of folk art was noticed in many locations.
At least half a dozen of Corporate houses were sponsoring Awards for Pujas under several
categories.
