Kashi Bose Lane Durga Puja 2015

This year's theme of Kashi Bose Lane Durga Puja is "মেয়েবেলা" (the
life of a girl). Since childhood, the specialities of a woman use to
imply amongst the behaviour, talks, plays, friendship, type of
relations with others etc. of a young girl. In course of time, the
girl becomes a matured woman, then an affectionate mother and finally
Sri Sri Chandi - eager to fight against all evils. On the way of
process, all these forms have the astonishing grace of debi Mahamaya.
Yet the life of a girl bounded by the do's & dont's prescribed by this
society dominated by male. So, ultimately, the life of a girl is
neglected. The aesthetic expression of this feelings would be
witnessed at the puja pandal of Kashi Bose Lane this year.
