Durga Puja Theme Inspired by Kolkata's Ghats
Durga Puja, a significant cultural event in Bengal, is using Kolkata's ghats (riverfront steps) as inspiration this year.
The theme is called 'Atha Ghat Katha,' focusing on the history of the ghats.
Artists will create the Durga idol and decorate the pandal (temporary structure) to tell the ghats' stories.
The organizers hope the theme will be educational for visitors.
Durga Puja already has UNESCO recognition, and this year's focus will highlight the area's rich heritage.
The festival draws global visitors and shows off Bengal's culture.

The theme is titled 'Atha Ghat Katha,' focusing on Kolkata's ghats.
