Arjun Chakraborty Joins BC Block’s 50th Durga Puja Celebration
A famous actor named Arjun Chakraborty came to a neighborhood in Kolkata to help celebrate a big festival called Durga Puja.
The festival is in its 50th year, so the people are making it extra special.
They gave small toy chariots to kids who don’t have many toys.
The festival will have a new theme and a big statue made from trees.
Everyone is excited and plans to show the festival on buses and in the streets.
The event is a mix of fun, tradition, and helping others.
Actor Arjun Chakraborty joined residents of BC Block for the Khuti puja of the block’s 50th Durga Puja anniversary.
The ceremony, held in rain, included gifting 20 miniature chariots with Jagannath idols to underprivileged children.
The block will host a theme‑based Puja for the first time, with a 14‑foot idol and installation using broken branches.
Organizers plan large‑scale celebrations, including a tableau and bus advertisements across Salt Lake and New Town.
