Hazra Park Durgotsab, now in its 83rd year, has chosen to explore the world of colour with its 2025 theme, ‘Drishtikon’
The south Kolkata puja, known for blending grandeur with imagination, has unveiled one of the tallest idols of the season, which is a 30-foot Durga that embodies the central idea of the theme
Conceptualised by artist Biman Saha, ‘Drishtikon’ moves beyond the aesthetic appeal of colour to explore it as a language of self-expression
The pandal and the idol have been designed to reflect how every hue carries an emotion and meaning
The towering Durga idol, painted in a striking palette, mirrors this vision. Every shade, from fiery reds to calming blues, has been used to narrate a story of courage, protest, love and hope
The result is a striking visual interpretation of how colour breathes life into both art and human experience
Sayan Deb Chatterjee, joint secretary of Hazra Park Durgotsab Committee, said, “Colour is not just an ornament to the world, it is its heartbeat. Every shade tells a story, and this year, we invite everyone to be part of that story.”
The puja was inaugurated on Wednesday in the presence of prominent city personalities and is now open to visitors
