Durga Puja : Theme Puja 2012 Of Dum Dum Park Tarun Sangha

Dum Dum Park Tarun Sangha will tell all this year "Come, I'll adorn
you with colours".
But the path of life is not always full of roses. There are adversity,
jealousy... the battle to go ahead faster. And this tug of war
silently snatches our joy, happiness, colours from life. Dum Dum Park
Tarun Sangha trying to bring back those days full of colours, joy and
happiness. It is their 27th years puja. And the theme is: "Colour,
Durga, Festival, Creation, Union". Theme-maker Prashanta Paul's effort
will be to expose each word of the theme. But, colour and light will
prevail. Total 60 artists are working here day and night to implement
the theme. The 32 feet high pandal will be made of bamboo, woods,
iron, hay and paper. 1100 pieces of buckets and drums full of colours
and paintings would be there as seen in the picture. The idol of
goddess DURGA will be made in the form of traditional stone images
engraved
on the walls of Indian temples. And the ornaments will be made of
clay. As a whole, it would be really a spectacular Puja pandal.
