Durga Puja : Theme Puja 2012 Of Khidirpur Nabarag Sangha

The lost childhood will be recovered in the puja pandal of Khidirpur Nabarag Sangha. The obsessions of childhood, fear of homework, playing hide & seek, atmosphere of autumn festival would be there, or the sketches on drawing books, colours, expression of a green heart - all the flavours of precious childhood would be there at the puja mandap. So, the theme is 'Aamar Chelebela' (My Childhood). It is the brain-child of theme-maker Shantanu Chattopadhyay. Transparent Japanese clothes 'Tarpedo' will be used to draw and write. Many comic characters would also be there. Moreover, balls, boats, toys, bottles used by kids will also be there.To amuse kids, the lion of goddess Durga will be as Mama and the Asur would also be a comic character. With the help of reflected light, Tarpedo clothes and suitable background music, the puja pandal would be an ideal place to like by the children.
