The organiser of this century-old puja told media today that they
never inclined to 'Theme Puja' and they prefer to remain as the lover
of conventional 'Daaker saaj' puja.
This year also they are about to worship 'Ek chala' Durga, preparing
by the renowned artist of Krishnanagar - Mohan Banshi Rudra Paul. --
