Kolkata: Durga Puja Pandal Shows Glimpses of Balakot strike

 Under a canopy of mischievous white clouds scattered across the autumn sky, West Bengal on Friday began its celebration of religion and culture on Shoshthi -- the first day of Durga Puja, the biggest festival in this part of the world.

In Kolkata, around 3,000 community pujas and 5,000 family pujas are being held. Another 25,000 community pujas have been organised by local clubs, non-government and social organizations.

Festooned with lights, giant cardboard cutouts and clay figures adorning entrances to lanes, the city is decked up like a beautiful bride to welcome its patron goddess.
