The Durga Puja in Kolkata – every year, for months throughout the rainy season, artists, workers and families prepare for the largest event of the year. By using local materials, clay from the river and straw from the rural communities, some of the most talented artists create some of the largest and most beautiful idols. Communities and families then purchase, worship then submerge them in the Hooghly River.
Durga Puja festival marks the victory of Goddess Durga over the evil buffalo demon Mahishasura. Thus, Durga Puja festival epitomises the victory of Good over Evil.
