Devotees
engaged in kirttan at our Temple in Dum Dum Park, Kolkata, in front
of Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Radha Madanamohanjiu. The temporary Durga
Mandir of the local community is just visible in the background
behind the devotees.
Looking
across 'Tank Three' from the top of our Sangha's nat mandir; and
a closer look at the Durga Temple.
The
entrance to the Mandir...
...and
Sri Durga Devi inside.
In
the middle of the nearby Bangur Avenue, a temporary Temple made
with bamboo and cloth; and the Deities within.
With
the road closed, an appreciative audience listens to live traditional
music.
Durga
Devi in another temporary Temple further along Bangur Avenue.
Yet
another Temple made for the occasion just off Bangur Avenue. Here
a sound-and-light show takes place inside.
A
gateway of moving lights welcomes visitors to Dum Dum Park. Traditional
music is heard over loudspeakers everywhere, and there is much activity
throughout the whole day and night.
