Puja Parikrama 2024
Durgapuja was celebrated in the old Rajbari (the royal palaces), the elite families, most Hindu landlords and heads of contemporary society in the British era! The initial days of East India Company rule had pumped in a lot of money, often amounting to 500 Crores (yes, you read that right) in today’s currency, injecting a lot of pomp and grandeur in Durgapuja which amounts as a festival in today’s Kolkata!
