A FINE REPRESENTATION OF FOLK ART
From entrance to 'chalchitra', mythology and folklores adorn the
pandal. We went there on the evening of Sapatami. When downloading, I
saw the the p[anels on the compound wall have not been properly
captured. Ruby took a few shots though. I went back in the morning of
Astami mid-day when 'pujo' was not over. The area was full of devotees
and - and later I understood - people waiting for lunch/'bhog' to be
served.
Most of my friends believe that Puja pandal cannot remain empty and people's head/torso popping in enhances the appeal.Looks authentic ! Here are photos from what we shot on Saptami eveing and Astami noon.
I was very happy - in fact thrilled - when I found ABP Ananda gave coverage to this pandal on the morning of Nabami. But for the location - distance from a main road - aesthetically, a very good work stayed beyond the notice of pandal-hoppers !
Idol installed in an unequal hexagon.
'Chalchitra' complements the geometry - not completely.
From every angle, a slice stay out of camera's view. Alas,crouching was difficult for me !
The vanquished !
Triangles, diagonals and squares in frame-work of the pandals and very
traditional folk art - a very distinguished look for Parnasree South
Block Club's Durga Puja. A very fine balanced composition- neither
ostentatious nor clumsy.
