Our Protima (Idol)
Made in the birthplace of the 'Barowari' Durga Puja
It’s the festival every Bengali holds dearest to their heart. But how did #DurgaPuja acquire this status? It’s a tale of ancient battles, colonial triumphs, and finally a group of young men who decided they wanted to be part of the celebrations too
