Durga Puja-Bengali Heart's Joy: In My Camera At Suburban Flavor

Bengali and Durga Puja:
Typical Bengali waits the whole year for the ultimate fulfillment of their emotional interest and cultural passion in form of his heart's closest festival: Durga Puja. This is a kind of festival that overcomes religious, professional, financial, social, personal conflicts and presents an open ground for inter-mixing. It brings "feel-good, eat-good, sleep-good, enjoy-good" atmosphere to tired people quite similar to a fresh and pleasant air once a year and the rest of the year people can spend thinking of earlier experiences and dreaming of the next ones.
In this space I have tried to aid Bengali people cherishing this feelings in flavor of suburban tour (my home town Burdwan) along with my camera in search of festive attractions. Don't know how successful I am in it...but sure of one thing: At end you will agree with me that next puja can be enjoyed nicely at any suburban/town..... Above one depicts modern look of “Devi” in “Chhou” culture, where the below one is the traditional motherly look.
Some of my Favourites due to Differential Look and Feel:
First one is made of "sola" and presenting whitish look. Peaceful and sacred feelings................... Next one offers golden sculpture look. Precious and special feel..............................

Below face is "Chhou" Look. Takes us to an artistic theme............................................
Next one is oranges presence. Absolutely exceptional feelings in front of it..Believe me..........
Below one is typically homely but enchanting look. Really encourages to capture more such pics.....
Next Yellowish presence is a classic one......



Below one is golden look, yet well decorated in Bengali heritage pattern................
Next one gives a cave sculpture feel............................

"Devi" in Devil Killing Warrior look:
No Evil...No Evil...Only Clean Green World.................
To ensure Good....Good......Devil Needs to be killed................
Back To Traditional Look:
Below one is looking nice although traditional....

Next one is Saint look.........Religious Feel.....Some more natural look.......................
Flowery presence......Indeed.....................
Typical traditional Bengali house Puja look:
Another one: Traditional yet glorious..................
This one is full alive...Physically ALIVE!!

"Abar Eso Maa" (Please Come Back Again Mother)

Its penetrating to say good bye. But she has to go back..to "Heaven".... Bless Your Child "Maa" (Mother). Please come again to us "Maa" next year. Looking forward to next.. dreaming of more pleasure and enjoyment...........
