Durga Puja : Theme Puja 2012 Of Ballygunge Cultural Association

The bright colours of incredible Rajasthan would be the theme of
Ballygunge Cultural Association's Durga puja. Sri Pradip Rudra Paul is
the clay artist and Sri Goutam Basu the theme-maker. The idol of
goddess Durga would be given a Rajasthani look. The traditional
clothings of Rajasthan and ornaments like churi, tip, tickli would be
on the image and will be a total look of traditional Rajasthani girl
wearing lehenga choli, although the motherly touch of traditional
Bengali girl would also be on the image. Even, the famous puppet
culture, music and traditional heritage of Rajasthan would also be
part and parcel of this year's Puja.
