For the three days during the Durga Puja festival, Kolkata turns into a walk-in art gallery. From the elaborate pandals to the exploration of themes, every year there is something new to look forward to. In the 1970s, there was a trend of creating the images from mundane things like coins, matchsticks, fish scales, and so on. A new trend visible since the turn of the century is to revive traditional art forms and to explore contemporary social themes. Puja decor in Kolkata is seeing a resurgence of interest in rural craftsmanship. Apart from introducing the younger generation to the dying arts of Bengal, the organisers might be helping these folk artists to survive too. Some organisers even try out ludicrous ideas such as making pandals and images from old gramophone records or sugarcane pulp, but that is a rare phenomenon. With spectators, sponsors and awards to egg them on, the puja organisers have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. Sometimes innovation is not restricted to one aspect - such as making idols or the interiors. They are integrated to give a homogenous look. We are giving a whole picture of the prominent pujas being held at whole of kolkata into our site through the map. The map will guide the viewers a complete view of the different pujas being held at most prominent pandals with their innovative ideas. How the whole of kolkata is whole-heartedly thronged with it is totally displayed in it.
