Confluence of Cultures
Durga Puja is an Indian festival where the goddess of power and righteousness, Durga, is worshipped over four-day long celebrations. In eastern part of India, especially Kolkata, this is an extravaganza of Indian art and culture. At the other end of the globe, we were privileged to host our own version of Durga Puja at Unitarian Universalist Church, West Lafayette, Indiana this year. The serene ambience of the church combined with colorful glitterati added an extra dimension to our "probashi pujo" (festival away from home).
