Bengalees are very well known for their love for foods. You can recognize Bengalees not only in India but in all corners of the world by their food habits and food culture. Bengalees do not need special occasions to have a delicious lunch or dinner; they are always ready for it. To them, having food with friends and family members itself is a big occasion. And when special occasions really come, Bengalees’ appetite knows no bound. Held in autumn, Durga Puja is the biggest festival for Bengalees not only in Kolkata and other parts of India but also in Bangladesh and is the time when they break all routines, ignore health problems and disobey doctor’s advices to satisfy their taste buds and fill up their stomach, what they call as pet puja (worshipping the pet (stomach)).
Indeed, the stomachs of Bengalese get a four-day long puja along with Goddess Durga, especially in Bengal and Kolkata. Kitchen in all Bengalee houses remain crowded with women, who put their best effort to prepare delicious dishes for their family members. Unlike normal days, they do it very happily as the festive fever firms its grip on their mood.Durga pujas food habits and culture is bit different. As bengalees are more fond of fish than meats, a wide variety of fish items are cooked in all houses among which the most popular are vapa ilish (steamed hilsa with mustard paste and spices), rui machher kalia ( rohu fish cooked with spices, onion, garlic and ginger), chingri maachher malaikari (lobster cokked with coconut milk and variety of spices) and chital machher muithha (balls made with boiled and smashed chital fish). As sacrificing goats is an age-old tradition of Durga Puja that some bengalee families still follow, varieties of mutton dishes are also prepared in those houses.
Durga Puja is the best time of the year for people who run restaurants in Kolkata. You will find long queues outside all the reputed restaurants in the city during the five days of the festival. For them Durga Puja is a food festival that makes a great impact on their balance sheet. No matter whether it is dawn or midnight, you will struggle to get a vacant table anywhere. No matter whether it is a Mughlai restaurant or Chinese, South Indian or multi-cuisine, you will find waiters struggling to satisfy the increasing needs of the Bengalee customers. Some restaurants have even minimized the need of Bengalee housewives to deal with utensils in the kitchens by offering special bengalee lunch and dinner. Several reputed restaurants in Kolkata serve special dishes from traditional bengalee cuisine to their customers during special occasions like Durga Puja and Poila Boisakh (Bengali new year). All kind of items, starting from bitter items to sweet dishes with curries, fries, fishes and mutton in between are served on small bowls along with plain rice, known as bhat in Bengali. Other than big restaurants, the roadside eateries that prepare rolls, chowmeins and other snacks, the fuchkawalas, jhalmuriwalas, ice cream parlours and cold drink stalls too witness huge crowds in front of them from dawn to dusk throughout the day.
The description of Bengalees’ love for food remains incomplete without the mention of sweets. Endless varieties of sweets are displayed in the showcases of sweet shops to cater to the needs of people. Especially on Bijaya Dashami, the last day of the festival, the demand for sweets reaches the maximum level as distributing sweets among friends, relatives and neighbors is an age-old tradition of Durga puja. As Dashami is considered as the day of bijay (victory) of Goddess Durga over the evil, bengalees celebrate the occasion with sweets. Wide varieties of sweet dishes are also prepared by people in their houses on this day, among which the most common are narkel naru (balls made with the mixture of grinded coconut and molasses) elojhelo, malpoa and rashboda. Among the salty items that are served along with the sweets, nimki is the most popular.

Durga Puja 2009 | Kolkata’s best pandals | Kolkata Durga Puja guide
With autumn comes the biggest festival of the Bengalees, the Durga Puja. A five-day festival, which starts from the evening of Mahashasthi and ends at Dashami brings the biggest happiness for each and every Bengalee. It is the time to get out of the house in colourful dresses and hopping from pandel to pandel, have delicious food and spend great times with friends and family members. Durga Puja is a religious tradition of the Hindus that has gradually turned into a huge carnival in Kolkata over the year and now it has become a major commercial event too. Today’s Durga Puja is much more than a mere cultural and religious festival. Today it is a mega event with a strong commercial entity, an opportunity to generate maximum revenue in minimum time.
Puja committees arrange for Durga Puja which comes as an opportunity to worship the Goddess for the local people. But behind such a noble intention there is a major financial cause. Durga Puja comes as the biggest scope to earn money for the clubs and the puja committees. They earn money from local membership and chanda (donations) and from the sponsors. Hoardings and banners of various companies are seen around the pandals of even the small pujas that are not much popular. For new companies, that are not quite reputed, Durga Puja comes as a great opportunity to get some publicity. As the popular puja pandals are visited by thousands of people they display their banner and hoardings to attract their eyes and the puja committees take advantage of that. Many puja committees allow companies to set their stalls around the puja compound and earn money as stall rent.
In the recent times, the media has also joined in this group. FM radio stations and TV channels compete hard with each other to become the official media partners of different reputed pujas. The committees earn huge money from them as sponsorship money and the media partners enjoy the extra publicity, which helps in raising their TRPs. Earlier Kolkata Doordarshan used to be the only channel to offer Puja coverage, which is popularly known as Puja Porikrama but these days one can watch Puja Porikrama in all Bengali channels. In fact the percentage of people watching puja coverage in Kolkata Doordarshan nowadays is negligible compared to that of the new Bengali news and entertainment channels because they offer much colorful live coverages and the reason is, behind the bid to entertain people there is a bigger motive for them.
Not only for the puja committees, media houses and companies, but Durga Puja comes as a scope to bag some extra money for common people too. Lots of people invest money in ventures like snacks bar, cold drink and ice cream stalls. As people from the fur flung areas of the city even from other parts of the state come fill up the streets, roads and lanes of Kolkata, these snacks bar and soft drinks stalls never remain vacant. It’s a five-day special trading season for such stall owners and at the end of the puja they get back home with heavy cash boxes.

The festival starts with the bodhon of Goddess Durga on the evening of Maha Shashthi and ends on Bijay Dashami with the cremation of the earthen idols in the Ganga. Bengalees start sending ‘Shuvo Sharodiya’ greetings even before Maha Shashthi and stop at Bijaya Dashami with sending ‘Shuvo Bijaya’ messages and e-mails. Basically, the puja starts from Maha Shaptami, the days next to Maha Shashthi when Bengalees wish ‘Shuvo Shaptami’ SMSes to their close ones, which become Shuvo Ashtami and Shuvo Nabami for the next two days.
Thanks to the Bengalees who have settled down in US cities and Western countries, the spirit of Durga Puja is more confined within the boundaries of Bengal and India. It is now an international occasion. Bengalee communities in US and Western countries observe the puja in their own way and maintain the tradition of greeting their close ones. Besides, they send greetings to their relatives and family members who reside in Kolkata and get the same in return. Age is no factor as far as sending. Greetings are send by grandsons and grand daughters to ageing grandfather and mother, greetings are send from brothers to sisters and people are greeted by their in-laws, such is the significance of Durga Puja in the life of every Bengalee. If you are a Bengalee, you just can’t stop yourself from sending puja greetings to your close ones and expecting the same in return, no matter whether you stay in Kolkata or Canada, such is the spirit of this five-day-long festival. It is a time of they year when Bengalees who stay away from their parents and other members of the family feel their absence very much and when a greeting card or SMS or e-mail comes it brings a touch of love and care from them. It is indeed an occasion where happiness increases when shared with others.

Bengalees are very well known for their love for foods. You can recognize Bengalees not only in India but in all corners of the world by their food habits and food culture. Bengalees do not need special occasions to have a delicious lunch or dinner; they are always ready for it. To them, having food with friends and family members itself is a big occasion. And when special occasions really come, Bengalees’ appetite knows no bound. Held in autumn, Durga Puja is the biggest festival for Bengalees not only in Kolkata and other parts of India but also in Bangladesh and is the time when they break all routines, ignore health problems and disobey doctor’s advices to satisfy their taste buds and fill up their stomach, what they call as pet puja (worshipping the pet (stomach)).
Indeed, the stomachs of Bengalese get a four-day long puja along with Goddess Durga, especially in Bengal and Kolkata. Kitchen in all Bengalee houses remain crowded with women, who put their best effort to prepare delicious dishes for their family members. Unlike normal days, they do it very happily as the festive fever firms its grip on their mood.Durga pujas food habits and culture is bit different. As bengalees are more fond of fish than meats, a wide variety of fish items are cooked in all houses among which the most popular are vapa ilish (steamed hilsa with mustard paste and spices), rui machher kalia ( rohu fish cooked with spices, onion, garlic and ginger), chingri maachher malaikari (lobster cokked with coconut milk and variety of spices) and chital machher muithha (balls made with boiled and smashed chital fish). As sacrificing goats is an age-old tradition of Durga Puja that some bengalee families still follow, varieties of mutton dishes are also prepared in those houses.
Durga Puja is the best time of the year for people who run restaurants in Kolkata. You will find long queues outside all the reputed restaurants in the city during the five days of the festival. For them Durga Puja is a food festival that makes a great impact on their balance sheet. No matter whether it is dawn or midnight, you will struggle to get a vacant table anywhere. No matter whether it is a Mughlai restaurant or Chinese, South Indian or multi-cuisine, you will find waiters struggling to satisfy the increasing needs of the Bengalee customers. Some restaurants have even minimized the need of Bengalee housewives to deal with utensils in the kitchens by offering special bengalee lunch and dinner. Several reputed restaurants in Kolkata serve special dishes from traditional bengalee cuisine to their customers during special occasions like Durga Puja and Poila Boisakh (Bengali new year). All kind of items, starting from bitter items to sweet dishes with curries, fries, fishes and mutton in between are served on small bowls along with plain rice, known as bhat in Bengali. Other than big restaurants, the roadside eateries that prepare rolls, chowmeins and other snacks, the fuchkawalas, jhalmuriwalas, ice cream parlours and cold drink stalls too witness huge crowds in front of them from dawn to dusk throughout the day.
The description of Bengalees’ love for food remains incomplete without the mention of sweets. Endless varieties of sweets are displayed in the showcases of sweet shops to cater to the needs of people. Especially on Bijaya Dashami, the last day of the festival, the demand for sweets reaches the maximum level as distributing sweets among friends, relatives and neighbors is an age-old tradition of Durga puja. As Dashami is considered as the day of bijay (victory) of Goddess Durga over the evil, bengalees celebrate the occasion with sweets. Wide varieties of sweet dishes are also prepared by people in their houses on this day, among which the most common are narkel naru (balls made with the mixture of grinded coconut and molasses) elojhelo, malpoa and rashboda. Among the salty items that are served along with the sweets, nimki is the most popular.

Durga Puja 2009 | Kolkata’s best pandals
With autumn comes the biggest festival of the Bengalees, the Durga Puja. A five-day festival, which starts from the evening of Mahashasthi and ends at Dashami brings the biggest happiness for each and every Bengalee. It is the time to get out of the house in colourful dresses and hopping from pandel to pandel, have delicious food and spend great times with friends and family members. Durga Puja is a religious tradition of the Hindus that has gradually turned into a huge carnival in Kolkata over the year and now it has become a major commercial event too. Today’s Durga Puja is much more than a mere cultural and religious festival. Today it is a mega event with a strong commercial entity, an opportunity to generate maximum revenue in minimum time.
Puja committees arrange for Durga Puja which comes as an opportunity to worship the Goddess for the local people. But behind such a noble intention there is a major financial cause. Durga Puja comes as the biggest scope to earn money for the clubs and the puja committees. They earn money from local membership and chanda (donations) and from the sponsors. Hoardings and banners of various companies are seen around the pandals of even the small pujas that are not much popular. For new companies, that are not quite reputed, Durga Puja comes as a great opportunity to get some publicity. As the popular puja pandals are visited by thousands of people they display their banner and hoardings to attract their eyes and the puja committees take advantage of that. Many puja committees allow companies to set their stalls around the puja compound and earn money as stall rent.
In the recent times, the media has also joined in this group. FM radio stations and TV channels compete hard with each other to become the official media partners of different reputed pujas. The committees earn huge money from them as sponsorship money and the media partners enjoy the extra publicity, which helps in raising their TRPs. Earlier Kolkata Doordarshan used to be the only channel to offer Puja coverage, which is popularly known as Puja Porikrama but these days one can watch Puja Porikrama in all Bengali channels. In fact the percentage of people watching puja coverage in Kolkata Doordarshan nowadays is negligible compared to that of the new Bengali news and entertainment channels because they offer much colorful live coverages and the reason is, behind the bid to entertain people there is a bigger motive for them.
Not only for the puja committees, media houses and companies, but Durga Puja comes as a scope to bag some extra money for common people too. Lots of people invest money in ventures like snacks bar, cold drink and ice cream stalls. As people from the fur flung areas of the city even from other parts of the state come fill up the streets, roads and lanes of Kolkata, these snacks bar and soft drinks stalls never remain vacant. It’s a five-day special trading season for such stall owners and at the end of the puja they get back home with heavy cash boxes.

Today people greet their close ones through SMSs, MMSs and e-mails. To make things more interesting, people are opting for picture messages and special linguistic messages that are offered by the private telecom service providers to greet people on special occasions.
In USA and Western countries, X-Mas and New Year’s Day are the biggest occasions when people’s cell phones and mailboxes get flooded with greeting SMSs and mails from friends and relatives. For Bengalees in Kolkata and other parts of India, Durga Puja is a festival of that stature. The five-day-long Durga Puja is the biggest festival for Bengalees and they are found in a joyous mood during this time. They enjoy the festival at the maximum level possible and share their happiness with friends and relatives by sending puja greetings. Each of the five days of Durga Puja bears special significance. The festival starts with the bodhon of Goddess Durga on the evening of Maha Shashthi and ends on Bijay Dashami with the cremation of the earthen idols in the Ganga. Bengalees start sending ‘Shuvo Sharodiya’ greetings even before Maha Shashthi and stop at Bijaya Dashami with sending ‘Shuvo Bijaya’ messages and e-mails. Basically, the puja starts from Maha Shaptami, the days next to Maha Shashthi when Bengalees wish ‘Shuvo Shaptami’ SMSes to their close ones, which become Shuvo Ashtami and Shuvo Nabami for the next two days.
Thanks to the Bengalees who have settled down in US cities and Western countries, the spirit of Durga Puja is more confined within the boundaries of Bengal and India.

Greetings are send by grandsons and grand daughters to ageing grandfather and mother, greetings are send from brothers to sisters and people are greeted by their in-laws, such is the significance of Durga Puja in the life of every Bengalee.

Bengalees are very well known for their love for foods. You can recognize Bengalees not only in India but in all corners of the world by their food habits and food culture. Bengalees do not need special occasions to have a delicious lunch or dinner; they are always ready for it. To them, having food with friends and family members itself is a big occasion. And when special occasions really come, Bengalees’ appetite knows no bound. Held in autumn, Durga Puja is the biggest festival for Bengalees not only in Kolkata and other parts of India but also in Bangladesh and is the time when they break all routines, ignore health problems and disobey doctor’s advices to satisfy their taste buds and fill up their stomach, what they call as pet puja (worshipping the pet (stomach)).
Indeed, the stomachs of Bengalese get a four-day long puja along with Goddess Durga, especially in Bengal and Kolkata. Kitchen in all Bengalee houses remain crowded with women, who put their best effort to prepare delicious dishes for their family members. Unlike normal days, they do it very happily as the festive fever firms its grip on their mood.Durga pujas food habits and culture is bit different. As bengalees are more fond of fish than meats, a wide variety of fish items are cooked in all houses among which the most popular are vapa ilish (steamed hilsa with mustard paste and spices), rui machher kalia ( rohu fish cooked with spices, onion, garlic and ginger), chingri maachher malaikari (lobster cokked with coconut milk and variety of spices) and chital machher muithha (balls made with boiled and smashed chital fish). As sacrificing goats is an age-old tradition of Durga Puja that some bengalee families still follow, varieties of mutton dishes are also prepared in those houses.
Durga Puja is the best time of the year for people who run restaurants in Kolkata. You will find long queues outside all the reputed restaurants in the city during the five days of the festival. For them Durga Puja is a food festival that makes a great impact on their balance sheet. No matter whether it is dawn or midnight, you will struggle to get a vacant table anywhere. No matter whether it is a Mughlai restaurant or Chinese, South Indian or multi-cuisine, you will find waiters struggling to satisfy the increasing needs of the Bengalee customers. Some restaurants have even minimized the need of Bengalee housewives to deal with utensils in the kitchens by offering special bengalee lunch and dinner. Several reputed restaurants in Kolkata serve special dishes from traditional bengalee cuisine to their customers during special occasions like Durga Puja and Poila Boisakh (Bengali new year). All kind of items, starting from bitter items to sweet dishes with curries, fries, fishes and mutton in between are served on small bowls along with plain rice, known as bhat in Bengali. Other than big restaurants, the roadside eateries that prepare rolls, chowmeins and other snacks, the fuchkawalas, jhalmuriwalas, ice cream parlours and cold drink stalls too witness huge crowds in front of them from dawn to dusk throughout the day.
The description of Bengalees’ love for food remains incomplete without the mention of sweets. Endless varieties of sweets are displayed in the showcases of sweet shops to cater to the needs of people. Especially on Bijaya Dashami, the last day of the festival, the demand for sweets reaches the maximum level as distributing sweets among friends, relatives and neighbors is an age-old tradition of Durga puja. As Dashami is considered as the day of bijay (victory) of Goddess Durga over the evil, bengalees celebrate the occasion with sweets. Wide varieties of sweet dishes are also prepared by people in their houses on this day, among which the most common are narkel naru (balls made with the mixture of grinded coconut and molasses) elojhelo, malpoa and rashboda. Among the salty items that are served along with the sweets, nimki is the most popular.

Durga Puja 2009
With autumn comes the biggest festival of the Bengalees, the Durga Puja. A five-day festival, which starts from the evening of Mahashasthi and ends at Dashami brings the biggest happiness for each and every Bengalee. It is the time to get out of the house in colourful dresses and hopping from pandel to pandel, have delicious food and spend great times with friends and family members. Durga Puja is a religious tradition of the Hindus that has gradually turned into a huge carnival in Kolkata over the year and now it has become a major commercial event too. Today’s Durga Puja is much more than a mere cultural and religious festival. Today it is a mega event with a strong commercial entity, an opportunity to generate maximum revenue in minimum time.
Puja committees arrange for Durga Puja which comes as an opportunity to worship the Goddess for the local people. But behind such a noble intention there is a major financial cause. Durga Puja comes as the biggest scope to earn money for the clubs and the puja committees. They earn money from local membership and chanda (donations) and from the sponsors. Hoardings and banners of various companies are seen around the pandals of even the small pujas that are not much popular. For new companies, that are not quite reputed, Durga Puja comes as a great opportunity to get some publicity. As the popular puja pandals are visited by thousands of people they display their banner and hoardings to attract their eyes and the puja committees take advantage of that. Many puja committees allow companies to set their stalls around the puja compound and earn money as stall rent.
In the recent times, the media has also joined in this group. FM radio stations and TV channels compete hard with each other to become the official media partners of different reputed pujas. The committees earn huge money from them as sponsorship money and the media partners enjoy the extra publicity, which helps in raising their TRPs. Earlier Kolkata Doordarshan used to be the only channel to offer Puja coverage, which is popularly known as Puja Porikrama but these days one can watch Puja Porikrama in all Bengali channels. In fact the percentage of people watching puja coverage in Kolkata Doordarshan nowadays is negligible compared to that of the new Bengali news and entertainment channels because they offer much colorful live coverages and the reason is, behind the bid to entertain people there is a bigger motive for them.
Not only for the puja committees, media houses and companies, but Durga Puja comes as a scope to bag some extra money for common people too. Lots of people invest money in ventures like snacks bar, cold drink and ice cream stalls. As people from the fur flung areas of the city even from other parts of the state come fill up the streets, roads and lanes of Kolkata, these snacks bar and soft drinks stalls never remain vacant. It’s a five-day special trading season for such stall owners and at the end of the puja they get back home with heavy cash boxes.

Bengalees are very well known for their love for foods. You can recognize Bengalees not only in India but in all corners of the world by their food habits and food culture. Bengalees do not need special occasions to have a delicious lunch or dinner; they are always ready for it. To them, having food with friends and family members itself is a big occasion. And when special occasions really come, Bengalees’ appetite knows no bound. Held in autumn, Durga Puja is the biggest festival for Bengalees not only in Kolkata and other parts of India but also in Bangladesh and is the time when they break all routines, ignore health problems and disobey doctor’s advices to satisfy their taste buds and fill up their stomach, what they call as pet puja (worshipping the pet (stomach)).
Indeed, the stomachs of Bengalese get a four-day long puja along with Goddess Durga, especially in Bengal and Kolkata. Kitchen in all Bengalee houses remain crowded with women, who put their best effort to prepare delicious dishes for their family members.

And when special occasions really come, Bengalees’ appetite knows no bound. Held in autumn, Durga Puja is the biggest festival for Bengalees not only in Kolkata and other parts of India but also in Bangladesh and is the time when they break all routines, ignore health problems and disobey doctor’s advices to satisfy their taste buds and fill up their stomach, what they call as pet puja (worshipping the pet (stomach)).
Indeed, the stomachs of Bengalese get a four-day long puja along with Goddess Durga, especially in Bengal and Kolkata. Kitchen in all Bengalee houses remain crowded with women, who put their best effort to prepare delicious dishes for their family members. Unlike normal days, they do it very happily as the festive fever firms its grip on their mood.Durga pujas food habits and culture is bit different. As bengalees are more fond of fish than meats, a wide variety of fish items are cooked in all houses among which the most popular are vapa ilish (steamed hilsa with mustard paste and spices), rui machher kalia ( rohu fish cooked with spices, onion, garlic and ginger), chingri maachher malaikari (lobster cokked with coconut milk and variety of spices) and chital machher muithha (balls made with boiled and smashed chital fish). As sacrificing goats is an age-old tradition of Durga Puja that some bengalee families still follow, varieties of mutton dishes are also prepared in those houses.
Durga Puja is the best time of the year for people who run restaurants in Kolkata. You will find long queues outside all the reputed restaurants in the city during the five days of the festival. For them Durga Puja is a food festival that makes a great impact on their balance sheet. No matter whether it is dawn or midnight, you will struggle to get a vacant table anywhere. No matter whether it is a Mughlai restaurant or Chinese, South Indian or multi-cuisine, you will find waiters struggling to satisfy the increasing needs of the Bengalee customers. Some restaurants have even minimized the need of Bengalee housewives to deal with utensils in the kitchens by offering special bengalee lunch and dinner. Several reputed restaurants in Kolkata serve special dishes from traditional bengalee cuisine to their customers during special occasions like Durga Puja and Poila Boisakh (Bengali new year). All kind of items, starting from bitter items to sweet dishes with curries, fries, fishes and mutton in between are served on small bowls along with plain rice, known as bhat in Bengali. Other than big restaurants, the roadside eateries that prepare rolls, chowmeins and other snacks, the fuchkawalas, jhalmuriwalas, ice cream parlours and cold drink stalls too witness huge crowds in front of them from dawn to dusk throughout the day.
The description of Bengalees’ love for food remains incomplete without the mention of sweets. Endless varieties of sweets are displayed in the showcases of sweet shops to cater to the needs of people. Especially on Bijaya Dashami, the last day of the festival, the demand for sweets reaches the maximum level as distributing sweets among friends, relatives and neighbors is an age-old tradition of Durga puja. As Dashami is considered as the day of bijay (victory) of Goddess Durga over the evil, bengalees celebrate the occasion with sweets. Wide varieties of sweet dishes are also prepared by people in their houses on this day, among which the most common are narkel naru (balls made with the mixture of grinded coconut and molasses) elojhelo, malpoa and rashboda. Among the salty items that are served along with the sweets, nimki is the most popular.

With autumn comes the biggest festival of the Bengalees, the Durga Puja. A five-day festival, which starts from the evening of Mahashasthi and ends at Dashami brings the biggest happiness for each and every Bengalee. It is the time to get out of the house in colourful dresses and hopping from pandel to pandel, have delicious food and spend great times with friends and family members. Durga Puja is a religious tradition of the Hindus that has gradually turned into a huge carnival in Kolkata over the year and now it has become a major commercial event too. Today’s Durga Puja is much more than a mere cultural and religious festival. Today it is a mega event with a strong commercial entity, an opportunity to generate maximum revenue in minimum time.
Puja committees arrange for Durga Puja which comes as an opportunity to worship the Goddess for the local people. But behind such a noble intention there is a major financial cause. Durga Puja comes as the biggest scope to earn money for the clubs and the puja committees. They earn money from local membership and chanda (donations) and from the sponsors. Hoardings and banners of various companies are seen around the pandals of even the small pujas that are not much popular. For new companies, that are not quite reputed, Durga Puja comes as a great opportunity to get some publicity. As the popular puja pandals are visited by thousands of people they display their banner and hoardings to attract their eyes and the puja committees take advantage of that. Many puja committees allow companies to set their stalls around the puja compound and earn money as stall rent.
In the recent times, the media has also joined in this group. FM radio stations and TV channels compete hard with each other to become the official media partners of different reputed pujas. The committees earn huge money from them as sponsorship money and the media partners enjoy the extra publicity, which helps in raising their TRPs. Earlier Kolkata Doordarshan used to be the only channel to offer Puja coverage, which is popularly known as Puja Porikrama but these days one can watch Puja Porikrama in all Bengali channels. In fact the percentage of people watching puja coverage in Kolkata Doordarshan nowadays is negligible compared to that of the new Bengali news and entertainment channels because they offer much colorful live coverages and the reason is, behind the bid to entertain people there is a bigger motive for them.
Not only for the puja committees, media houses and companies, but Durga Puja comes as a scope to bag some extra money for common people too. Lots of people invest money in ventures like snacks bar, cold drink and ice cream stalls. As people from the fur flung areas of the city even from other parts of the state come fill up the streets, roads and lanes of Kolkata, these snacks bar and soft drinks stalls never remain vacant. It’s a five-day special trading season for such stall owners and at the end of the puja they get back home with heavy cash boxes.
