Kolkata is reeling under World Cup fever. And Brazil is the most
favourite team of Kolkatans ever. So, organisers of Durga Puja are not
lagging behind. On this 57th year's puja of Santoshpur Lake Pally,
Country Brazil is the theme and their slogan is - "Brazil to Lake
Pally". Their theme of puja is centered by Brazil, it is true, but
direct Rio carnival or Samba is not here, but, the amalgamation of
Indian culture and Brazilian culture is the main theme. Sands of
Indonesia, and other materials of pandal will be imported from Mumbasa
of Keniya and Mexico. At the first phase, materials of pandal have
come from Sao Paolo between 1-4 June. A piece of Brazil would be seen
in the pandal of this year's Durga Puja of Santoshpur Lake Pally.
