The Chief Minister also inaugurated Durga Puja festivities at three iconic Kolkata pandals — Hathibagan Sarbajanin, Shri Bhoomi Sporting Club, and Tala Prattoy.

Hathibagan Sarbajanin is renowned for its elaborate decorations and theme-based idols, while Shri Bhoomi Sporting Club is known for its innovative concepts and artistic installations. Tala Prattoy, on the other hand, is a traditional puja pandal with a rich history and cultural significance.

Durga Puja remains a cornerstone of Bengal’s cultural heritage, bringing together people from all walks of life. The streets glow with colorful lights, the beats of the dhak (traditional drum) reverberate in the air, and the entire state embraces a spirit of devotion and celebration.
