It isn’t just an event that brings the city of Kolkata to a halt. Durga Puja is a festival that brings people together all across India. The fun, food and the fervour that Durga Puja brings is something that can’t be replicated. The entire city turns into a beautiful dreamland of joy and togetherness. Here are 12 sights you’ll only see during Durga Puja:

1. Food stalls at literally every corner serving a variety of mouthwatering dishes right from cutlets to biryani to rasgullas and people gorging on them like there’s no tomorrow!

It is like stepping into paradise for any true food lover!

2. Families of 10-12 members including the grandparents who want to take this opportunity to instill cultural values in their grandkids and the grandkids who actually want to just walk around and soak in the festive atmosphere!

Not to forget the painting competitions & cultural activities.
