Durga Puja has turned out to be more of a social festival. The preparation required to make it successful depends entirely on the contributions from all the sections of the society. Bangalinet has brought forward these important people who are behind the glory of the festival.

Men behind the pandals_____________________
Sankar Sarkar fondly known as “Masterda”, leads the Mahishbathan Gramin Hastashilpa Samabaya of North Dinajpur. A team of ten skilled men has come to Kolkata to decorate the city-based pandals. They specialize in handicrafts made of wood, jute and bamboo. Talking to Bangalinet, Masterda said, “This year quite a few Puja committees have invited us to decorate their pandals with works of jute, bamboo and wood. Durga Puja for us

is the time for financial benefit and for all the villages as well as the cooperative engaged in making handicrafts. We pray to the Goddess though our work.”
