জগদ্ধাত্রী (Jagaddhatri) 2018
Dating back to early 17th century, Jagaddhatri (Bearer of the World) worship is a cult in erstwhile French township of Eastern India, Chandannagar. An approximately 20-30 feet clay idol of Maa Jagadhatri is worshiped for 5 days, housed in beautifully crafted 'pandal' (sort of a marquee) magnificently lit by the famous lighting industry that is prevalent here. The artisans work round the year for this occasion as the city lights up into a 5 day carnival with millions of footfalls visiting multiple such pandals. Presenting one such pandal decked up with the theme of Dokra alloy artwork, popular in the rural parts of Bengal, with Maa Jagaddhatri in the backdrop.
