Durga Puja 2025 Preview Shows Focus on Accessibility
Durga Puja in Kolkata is getting ready to offer a special 'preview show' before the main event.
It's like a sneak peek!
From September 18-22, 2025, you can visit the Alipore Museum to see beautiful art.
UNESCO and IIT Kharagpur are helping to make sure everyone can enjoy the festival, especially people who might find it hard to move around.
There's also an art fair where local artists will sell their creations.
The goal is to make Durga Puja more welcoming to all visitors.
Durga Puja's preview show, supported by UNESCO and IIT Kharagpur, will return from September 18-22, 2025.
The event will be held at the Alipore Museum, showcasing Bengal's art and culture.
The show will include an Autumn Art Fair featuring community artisans.
A key focus is improving accessibility for the elderly and people with disabilities.
