Durga Puja : Theme Puja 2012 Of Jodhpur Park 95 Pally

Sanatan Dinda is the theme-maker of this year's Durga Puja of Jodhpur
Park 95 Pally. And the theme is 'Ananda'. We often express our
feelings with hands, so, thousands of hands will expose the theme
which Lalan Fakir had expressed 150 years ago with the immortal lines
"aat kuthurir noi darja aanta, tar moddhye moddhye jhorka kata". Work
of plaster of Paris is in progress since June. The mondop will be a
kind of stage. Rabindra Sangeet would be played on the background. The
lightning will be fitted with the harmony of stage. The idol of
goddess DURGA would be made of fibre glass. The artist is making the
idol inside the club. The only weapon of goddess DURGA will be Trishul
here. Durga would be here with an image of softness of beauty. But, no
spiritual matter will be there. Other goddesses of devi Durga will be
showed here on 'Pot'. Several paintings of Sanatan Dinda will be
exhibited on the stage and the paintings would be changed by the
movement of light. The artist will try to create an atmosphere of
charm and mystery with all those moving paintings and lighting. A huge
statue of 'Ardhanarishwar' would be there on the entrance. Lights of
clay lamps would be there surrounding the pandal. The artist also
using the works of terracotta. The seven colours of spectrum would
also be there.
