Durga Puja experience in Jharsuguda, Odisha
Visited Jharsuguda (in Odisha, India ) during last Durga Puja. Was amazed to see the beauty and grandeur, Mesmerizing .. The spirit and enthusiasm is really awesome. In Metros or bigger cities you won't be able to see such involvement from the grassroots level. The entire crowd are on vacation, poor to rich , all are in festive mood .. Waoo, I really missed many years. In the same city, there were hundreds of places where Puja was happening at the same time. Puja committees decide on a particular theme, whose elements are incorporated into the Pandal and the sculptures. Grand decorations and ton of money is invested on the Pandals and effigies. The budget required for such theme-based Pujas is often higher than traditional Pujas. The competitiveness is huge to showcase one is better than the other in terms of the Decoration and celebration, which Pandal can attract more people. People seemed to be so happy and joyful, enjoying their heart's content. Colorful cloths ( mostly Sambalpuri Saree ) had given a traditional touch. Overall awesome festive environment.
Wanted to share few of the pictures from 2015 Puja.
Here are few close look at the decorations, you will amazed to see how much of work has gone in which is going to last just for 8 to 10 days .. unbelievable.
