A small bit of Rajasthan comes calling to our Kolkata, as ‘Purva Kolkata Gangaur Mahotsav’ is organised by ‘Purva Kolkata Maheshwari Samaj’ on 18 to 20 March at Fulbagan Big Park.
The socio-cultural program is supported by members of Kankurgachi Loko Sanaskriti.
‘Purva Kolkata Maheshwari Samaj’ officials who have made this grand festival possible include President Sri Suresh Jhawar, Secretary Sri Manmohan Bagri, Convenor & Vice-President-Hemant Marda, active members like Bhagwati Munra, Banwari Bahati, Kamala Bahati, Ajay Mohota, Smita Bahati,Gopal Das Dawani, Rajesh Chandak& others.
Sashi Kothari wrote lyrics of devotional songs dedicated to ‘Gangaur Mata’. The troupe members who performed devotional songs included Bijay Ojha, Giriraj Kothari, Padma Kothari, Ajay Garg, Sangeeta Daga, Rajkumar Dujari & others.
The place of worship (or temple) is fully air-conditioned and has been wonderfully decorated.
The festival has taken a unique look due to its sprawling stage, where various cultural programs regale the audience while for children there was a separate enclosure for various fun activities.
More than five thousand devotees and well-wishers came and enjoyed the spiritual and cultural functions.
