Durga Puja Bisarjan carnival to be held on Red Road today
A special procession of more than 60 Durga Puja committees who have won the Biswa Bangla Sharad Samman will be organised today on Red Road on the way to the bisarjan, or immersion.
This bisarjan carnival, initiated by Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee last year, was a unique show that gave an opportunity to all to see the best pratimas at one place.
From the beautiful dance movements to the rhythmic beats of dhaks to the soul-stirring sounds of dhamsas and madals; from frames that captured Kolkata’s built heritage of a bygone era to the memories of the past – the bisarjan carnival on Red Road last year was a riot for the senses.
