Making of the Mother

In only a matter of days, Durga Puja will commence, sending India, particularly West Bengal, in a frenzy of joy, celebration and festivity. The annual grand carnival that is most wonderfully experienced in Kolkata, witnesses a coming together of people irrespective of their castes, sexes or religion. Muslims and Hindus together craft the Mother Goddess and also worship her with equal devotion. Durga Puja is unlike any other festival – its indulgence, integration and celebration stand unrivalled.
