Some glances of Durga Puja '11

Durga Puja is known to be the most attractive and biggest festival of the Bengali. There are so many stories in the ancient history related to how and why this festival started and when for the first time. For the non- Bengali readers I must mention that for most of the Bengali, this festival is the most cherished and awaited one. This starts with Mahalaya and ends with Bijoya Dashami. The body of the Goddess are made by clay and the structure under it is usually made of woods. Here are some snaps of different sculptures..






The trend here is, many small or big organisations are there who make big pandals for celebrating this festival. Some pandals show the ancient  sculpture, some tell us the ancient stories of different matters ans some show any events. Have a look :

A trumpeter made m=by Jute.. 

Soldiers made by Jute..

King on the back of an Elephant again made by Jute..

People make this just for four days of celebration.. These acute decorations become famous but we don't really appreciate enough the people who made this possible.

Potter made of clay..
Doesn't he look like a real man?? So Perfect and flawless..
Decoation..
This decoration is also so unique, made of hundreds of clay pots..

Chandelier..
Sooooooo gorgeous...

Last year I didn't take too much photos.. But this year I promise to take much more pics and definitely share with everyone....
