EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Rupak De Chowdhuri, an artisan delicately hangs decorative pieces at a pandal in Kolkata, India. The pandal serves as a temporary platform that will soon come alive with vibrant festivities for the upcoming Hindu festival of Durga Puja. As the skilled craftsman meticulously arranges each ornament, one can't help but be mesmerized by the intricate details and artistry involved in creating these stunning decorations. The air is filled with anticipation as the city prepares to celebrate one of its most significant religious events. Durga Puja is a time when Kolkata transforms into a kaleidoscope of colors, lights, and sounds. It is a celebration dedicated to Goddess Durga's triumph over evil forces and signifies the victory of good over evil. The pandals are adorned with elaborate sculptures depicting various mythological scenes from Hindu scriptures. The photograph beautifully captures not only the craftsmanship but also showcases the dedication and devotion put into making this event truly spectacular. Each piece hanging delicately represents countless hours spent by artisans who pour their heart and soul into bringing these creations to life. Through this image, we catch a glimpse of the rich cultural heritage that thrives in Kolkata during Durga Puja—a time when people come together to revel in joyous celebrations while paying homage to their faith and traditions.
