Kolkata bids adieu to Goddess Durga

As Kolkata bids adieu to Goddess Durga, here are a few glimpses of how the City of Joy transforms into City of Lights and Happiness for these 10-days. As is the norm, artisans sculpting the idols of their favourite deity tried to outdo each other in creativity and innovation, resulting in a wide variety of beautiful statues, set up in pandals that reflected not only various social themes but also some that scaled new heights, literally, like this pandal in Sreebhumi depicting the world’s tallest tower, Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
