Durga Pujo: Crafting Pandals, Culinary Joy & Gifting with Heart

During Durga Pujo, beautiful pandals are made in every street. These pandals are temporary but look grand and creative. Skilled artisans work hard to design them, mixing old stories from mythology with modern ideas. When you walk from one pandal to another, it feels like going on a journey of stories, colours, and lights. Each pandal has its own theme and attracts people with its beauty and devotion.

Food is another big joy of Pujo. The smell of kathi rolls, jhaal muri, phuchkas, and chhana dishes fills the air. People laugh, chat, and enjoy these tasty snacks while moving around the pandals. Eating street food becomes a part of the celebration, and it brings everyone together.

Durga Pujo is not just a festival, it is the soul of Bengali culture. It reminds us of the victory of good over evil and also gives families a chance to come together. For Bengalis, Pujo means homecoming, joy, art, and togetherness. That is why this festival holds such a special place in their hearts.

Gifting during Pujo is also very important. Families buy and exchange new clothes like sarees and stoles. Traditional jewellery such as dokra (metal craft) and terracotta pieces are also gifted. These gifts are not just items, they carry love, tradition, and cultural value.

Aadivasi.org makes this tradition even more meaningful. They support tribal artisans by bringing their handmade products to people everywhere. When someone buys a saree or jewellery from Aadivasi.org, they are not only getting a beautiful gift but also helping tribal communities grow and sustain their art. This way, gifting becomes more than an exchange—it becomes a way to support people and preserve heritage.
