We have just been to few puja pandals in Bangalore. Here are some of the images I would like to share.
On Ashtomi:
Bengalee association Durga puja which has been shifted to Gaytri vihar with an added glamour quotient has become a mega event in Bangalore with extensive food court around 35 stalls, exhibits from cottage industries and Karnataka tourism pavilion and expected to host around 10,000 people with bhoger khichuri for all and under privileged too. The parking is extensive and is free too. Indian Ocean is performing today.
Bhoger khichuri with aloo potoler dalna, badakopir tarkari, anaras er chutney and rossogolla. There was also an unlimited rosogolla r counter too !
Few handicrafts stalls from west Bengal was there.
An exclusive exhibits from cottage industries emporium was there too.
Baul singers from Bengal was performing there, though I did not understand much but music was very pleasant.
There was an elaborate food court with around 35 stalls and they were selling everything from radhaballabi and allo dum to moghlai parota, cutlets, chicken biryani, ilish and chingri macher dish , kosha mangso, maghai pan, mishti from Mishti and Bancharam who are going to open their outlet soon in Bangalore.
Karnataka tourism pavilion showcasing Karnataka’s rich heritage and past.
Jaymahal Durga puja seems to lost half of its crowd to neighbouring puja at gaytri vihar, compared to earlier years there is hardly any food stall present worth mentioning. It was themed as jorasanko thakur bari which is rather quiet difficult to decipher.
Sanjaynagar Durga puja by Antaranga Bengali Cultural Association at Ramana Maharshi center for learning near food world.
Yellahanka Durga puja by Vivekananda Cultural Association at Sheshadripuram 1st grade college campus, New Town , Yellahanka.
