The festive season has officially begun and up on the itinerary first is the 10-day festival dedicated to the worship of the goddess Durga— Durga Puja. The celebrations marking this festival are all about larger than life Durga pandals, traditional Bengali sweets (ever tasted Sandesh?!) and delicacies like Dimer Devil, Fish Kobiraji, and Mughlai Paratha. While Kolkata remains the center 0f Durga Puja celebrations in the country, here in Delhi we have our own mini version of Kolkata in CR Park or Chittaranjan Park, where the festival is celebrated in the same style as it is in the ‘city of joy’.
