Saraswati Puja
It was a pleasant surprise to know that people here celebrate Saraswati Puja on a large scale. People with their origin in different parts of the world gather and celebrate this festival together. Last Sunday was puja day and I was there.
Apart from puja in the morning, there were cultural programmes in the evening. A very different and great experience in deed. A very homely feeling too, though we do not celebrate puja at our home!

Wow! This looks really pretty. I infer from the style of the idol that you must have a lot of bongs around?
In deed, I met some old Bongs there and heard the stories of glorious past and hopeless future of Kolkata Junibharshity.
Well, bongs are spread over the country, but no one around me. As a matter of fact, there were lots of people from Bangladesh in puja. Main organiser were in deed Bongs.
BTW, I did not realise that Bongs have a certain type of idol. Thanks for the info.
Amit, but you did not answer the unspoken question that VW was actually asking? :) You know....
@Samudrika: I won't anwser that question at least today! You know the reason, right?
