Durga Puja in London
This time we celebrated Durga Puja in London, UK. The photo here is from Camden Centre Puja, which is held in collaboration with the British Museum. The idol was made in the Museum with artisans flown from Kolkata. It was kept there for a month long exhibition before shifting to Camden Centre in a huge procession. This is probably London's biggest Puja celebration and was attended by lot of people, including Bengalis, non-bengalis, even I saw few 'Angrez' enjoying the festival in Camden centre. The idol 'immersion' on the Thames on the day of Dasami also was of great attention and pictures of the immersion was printed on the free newspaper 'Metro' avialable in Tube/Bus stations.
