Started in 1956, under the auspicious patronage of Shri Kalipada Bhattacharjee, today its one of the notable pujas in east Calcutta. |
This puja follows a traditional theme of "Peace and Tranquility," the mandap itself being a symbol of that mostly its white with decorations in red, blue or orange. |
The idol too, along with lighting and cultural activities band the same tune all along the four days of the puja. |
A major attraction of this puja is an "Arati Contest" on the evening of Maha Ashtami. Local participants as well as those from the adjoining areas in the age group of 8 to 40 years compete here every year amidst a strong crowd to cheer them up. |
