The preparation for the brightest festival in the country has already begun with much gusto and enthusiasm. As the city gushes with festive galore, it can be deemed sleepless during this time. People in Kolkata deck up from head to toe as they await the festivities, which are marked by delightful mithais, unlimited relish, drinks galore, beautiful decor, will usually a game of cards, and of course crackers â all of this form an essential part of the celebrations. Without the excitement of the festival and the scrumptious flavours of traditional and global cuisine, celebrations are quite incomplete.
The exuberance of the festivity can be felt everywhere – from north to south and east to west, across the country irrespective of caste, creed and gender. Itâs beautiful to see how this festival acts as a union of the whole country.
