Madhubani Theme Of Kankurgachi Mitali Sangha Durga Puja 2015

On this 79th year, Kankurgachi Mitali Sangha is creating a piece of
village as their puja mandap adorned by Madhubani paintings.
Theme-maker Sourajit Bandyopadhyay is now busy with some painters of
Madhuban who are originally Maithili, and they are creating paintings
on the puja mandap along with other artists who are creating artistic
atmosphere at the puja mandap by creating Madhubani art by thermocol.
The whole puja pandal would like to be a giant palanquin of Madhubani
art. Similarly, the clay idol of debi Durga is being created by
Kumartuli artist Parimal Pal. The image of Ma Durga here would remind
one 'roop' of a girl of Madhubani villages. As a whole, this year
Durga puja of Kankurgachi Mitali Sangha would really be an event of
art & craft.
