events Durga Puja - Surul Rajbari

Please Critique. Thanks for your time for viewing, rating and comments.

The Surul rajbari is famous for its Durga Puja, and for its 18th

century temples, which have terracotta carvings depicting scenes from

the Ramayan, puranas, besides sundry ladies and gentlemen dressed in

Western clothes.

The Durga Puja started by Srinivas continues to this day, albeit in a

truncated form. The Santhals, who used to perform in the dalan in

their traditional outfit on Nabami, no longer visit. The section of

the verandah overlooking the dalan that once used to be cordoned off

for the ladies of the house during the Pujas became a gender-neutral

space ever since women got used to standing side by side with men.
