A corner of Ealing Town Hall in London will showcase a slice of Calcutta this Puja. London Sharad Utsav (LSU), one of the most popular Durga pujas in the UK, will recreate some typical areas of Calcutta. Two community pujas — Ballygunge Cultural Association (BCA) from south Calcutta and Ahiritola Sarbojanin in the north — are helping in the endeavour. Live exchange of activities such as dhaker lorai and dhunuchi naach might take place between the London and Calcutta pujas. “The exhibition will create curiosity in our next generation so they might want to visit Puja in Calcutta some day,” said LSU president Anirban Mukhopadhyay.
