“Lage taka, debe Gouri Sen” — the famous Kolkata proverb reminds us of Gouri Shankar Sen’s unmatched generosity. Sambhunath Sen, related to Gouri Sen and a successful businessman of his time, built the family’s massive mansion off Amherst Street in 1909. In 1926, he began the Sen family’s Durga Puja, a tradition that continues nearly a century later. Here, Maa is worshipped as Sarbasundari Durga. The goddess, with her children, is placed on a pedestal encircled by twelve clay pillars. Though all share one platform, each deity is sculpted individually, with a magnificent chalchitra as the backdrop. This distinctive style of idol-making has remained unchanged since the puja’s inception. #GouriSen #SenBariPujo #SarbasundariDurga #HeritagePujo #BarirPujo #KolkataCulture #TraditionalPujo #PujoStories #kolkataclassics #pikturenama #poutpretty
