The obsolete Ser-Pai shilpo is the theme of this year's Lake Town
Netaji Sporting Durgotsab. In ancient days, people used to weigh
something by a unique container called Ser and Pai. The smiths of
Suri, in the district of Birbhum are still making this container, but
not for use, but for the decoration of rich family's show-case. Kg.
grams now replaced ser and pai. But, to salute the unknown artists,
who use to make this beautiful container, the puja committee has
chosen the theme. The image of goddess Durga also being made with a
traditional form, in a compact manner as seen in this picture.
