The adoration of the Divine Mother is one of the oldest forms of worship that humanity knows. And what began thousands of years ago as a religious celebration has become a social and cultural event that paralyzes Calcutta for 10 days to the sound of drums that never stop rumbling. Calcutta has an extensive ritual program for Durga Puja. It is a social event with a wide repertoire of cultural shows during the day and night. Preparations begin months in advance. Through bamboo poles cut into various shapes and sizes artisans manage to make the basic structure of the idols of the goddess and the platform on which the colossal figure will be displayed. It is a long and delicate process. In a diligent and methodical way, artisans strive to create exquisite pieces of art. The sculptures have a great aesthetic sense. In short, every year the festival translates into hours and hours of endless preparations. Food is also very much present in the festival with street stalls throughout Calcutta. Much more than a festival, Durga Puja represents fervor, joy and happiness expressed by all regardless of caste and creed. Fervor floods everything. #travtasy #BharatFromMyLens
