Vatchaj Durgadalan

Debashis Bhattacharyya

The ancestral home of the Bhattacharyyas and Durga Puja is being performed with great enthusiasm for the last 90 years in this home, away from all the glitzs and glamours of so called "Bonedi Barir Pujo", coined by the media. Earlier, it was performed at their earlier home, a tiny hamlet at Faridpur, now in Bangladesh. There are many specialities of this Puja, but the uniqueness of this Puja is that it is probably the only Puja, where the entire puja is performed only by the Bhattacharyyas themselves. No external purohits or cooks lend any help in this puja. As the home is in a bylane of Shyampukur of north Calcutta, so the media has not yet reached the spot.
