Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: Durga Puja is not just a festival but the soul of Bengal. Honouring its timeless cultural legacy,
the Government of West Bengal takes a significant step towards preserving the spirit of Durga Puja which is recognised by UNESCO as an "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity". Through the visionary initiative “Durga Angan”, a permanent courtyard dedicated to the daily worship of Maa Durga has been prepared. The Hon’ble Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will lay the foundation stone of Durga Angan in New Town.
Kolkata stands resplendent tonight, bathed in a radiant, luminous glow as the city prepares for the foundation stone laying of Durga Angan by Smt Mamata Banerjee.
Bengal rejoices with heartfelt pride and collective reverence for a temple complex devoted to Maa Durga, a divine symbol of courage, compassion, and unity.
May Maa Durga continue to bestow her choicest blessings upon this land. May her watchful grace safeguard our people. And may her divine shield forever protect the peace, tolerance, harmony, and pluralism that define Bengal.
