Things that scream ‘Pujo’ is here!

With just a few days left for the biggest festival of West Bengal, people are in their last leg of preparations.

Yes! We are talking about the Durga Puja! We Bengalis do not need a calendar to mark or remember this festival. Our surroundings do that for us; there are few things that are synonymous to Durga Puja. Can you tell us what? Here is a list we made about the things that scream ‘Pujo is here’.

#. Clear blue sky with scattered clouds announces the arrival of the ‘Pujo’ season.

#. ‘Kaash phool’ or ‘Kans grass’ grows only during the puja season and can be spotted adorning the ‘dhaks’ during Durga Puja.

#. A flower without which the festival is incomplete; that is ‘Shiuli phool’.

#. Birendra Krishna Bhadra’s ‘Mahisasur Mardini’ on the early morning of ‘Mahalaya’ literally gives every Bengali goosebump.
