পূজো গেল একটা সপ্তাহ হয়ে গেল, একটা সপ্তাহ আগেই এই গলি গুলো কোলাহল এ পরিপূর্ণ ছিল। মানুষের ভিড়ে মুখরিত, বিকেল হতে হতেই সেই গলির এক প্রান্তে ঝুলতে থাকা দুর্গা পূজা উপলক্ষে সাজানো আলো গুলো জ্বলে উঠত যখন, তখন তার মাধুর্য প্রায় শতগুণ বৃদ্ধি পেত। কলকাতার এইরকম গলি প্রায় প্রতিটি পাড়ায় বিরাজ করছে, কিন্তু এই গলি গুলো প্রতিটা বছর সাক্ষী থাকে হাজার ও মুহূর্তের। কারোর প্রেম নিবেদনের জায়গা হয়ে অথবা কারোর প্রোফাইল ফটোর ব্যাকগ্ৰাউন্ড হয়ে।

The city has quietened. The dhakis have returned home. But in the hearts and pandals that lie lonely, there She comes.
Dressed in red, riding an owl, holding a gachkouto (a red coloured pot filled with sindoor and a silver coin) in one hand, and blessing us with the other.
She fills the vacuum that every Bengali feels once their grandest festival comes to an end.
Mothers wake up early, gather shiuli, poddo (lotus), dubbo (grass twigs), aam pawllob (nascent mango leaves), paddy (unmilled rice), and paddy twigs.
The house is cleaned; mothers wear a red shaari, comb their hair, put on shidoor, tip, aalta. Children wear the last new dress that couldn’t find a place in their tight Durga Pujo schedule.
She likes cleanliness, She likes well-dressed people, She likes peace and quiet.
With rice powder paste, aalpona is painted all over the house. Her feet are carefully drawn at each doorstep to ensure, almost guarantee, that she visits the household.
The sunned air smells of an elaborate bhog. Moong daaler khichuri, laabra, aloor dom, naarkel naaru, and chirer moya.
Sandhya Mukhopadhyay’s voice gets infused with that of mothers, quietly chanting brotokotha and panchali — mythological tales that make you feel unconditional love and kindness, after all, are not a myth.
Yellowed leaves and blue skies. Benign smiles and gentle grace. This is the rare unexpected season when the voice inside your head goes silent. You immerse the same idol you welcomed so grandly. The lights go off. The festivities end. You join your palms and look up at Her, but only see the ceiling staring back.
But then, you look at the woman in your house, dressed in red. The magnificent force who stays up nights for you when you cannot sleep, brings you glasses of milk when work consumes your day, makes you eat that apple with smile stuck on face, and sourness in teeth.
You immerse the idol. But away from the dhaak kashor ghonta, in the echoes of unabashed care, damp walls, and old love — your Goddess stays back.
— A Bengali Mother’s Lokkhi Pujo, by Aishwarya ()

Durga Puja, is a time of joyous anticipation. it fills the air with the fragrance of incense and the echo of dhak beats. As the city adorns itself in resplendent finery, hearts swell with devotion, and a sense of unity and community envelops all. The sight of Durga’s divine form brings both reverence and a deep sense of awe, reminding us of the eternal battle between good and evil. In the midst of pandals and processions, Durga Puja not only celebrates tradition but also ignites a spiritual awakening in the hearts of all who partake in its grandeur.

Shubho Bijoya - We Bengalis say - “Asche Bochor Abar Hobe” which means “We will celebrate Durga Pujo next year also” which gives hope.
We bid adieu to Maa Durga with sweets and by playing with Vermillion!
As Maa Durga leaves Earth and goes to Kailash today, people are filled with Hope for a great year with blessings from Maa Durga.

বলছি আর কতক্ষন!
এই তো গিন্নী মা, হয়েই গেছে শেষ ঝাড় টা দিয়ে এবার উঠোন টা মুছব!
তাড়াতাড়ি কর রবি, জানিসি তো বনেদি পরিবারের পূজো পূজো ব্যাপার টা দুর্গা ঠাকুরের কাঠামো তে মাটি পড়ার পড় থেকেই শুরু হয়ে যায়। আর তো মাত্র কয় দিন, তারপর পুরোদমে দুর্গা আমাদের উমা হবে। আমি যখন প্রথম বৌ হয়ে এসেছিলাম, সে বছরে আমি একা হাতে মাকে সাজিয়ে ছিলাম, এখন তোরা এসেছিস বটে, সব কুড়ের দল। তাড়াতাড়ি কর, কাজ গুলো সেরে একটু ঠাকুর ঘড়ে যা পূজোর বাসনের বাক্স নিয়ে আয়, মাজতে বসতে হবে তো.........!

Two men are quietly kneading two types of mud.
The alleys are too dingy to allow sunlight to streak in. They make their own.
The pounded 'entel maati' (sticky clay) is mixed with rice husk and applied on the straw framework of the idol. The 'bele maati' (fine-grained clay) is then applied on the layer of entel mati and left to dry.
A girl carrying a tray of upturned clay faces, jumps aside when a man tips his bucket of rainbow water onto the road.
A sticky layer of tamarind seed paste and water-soluble white paint are applied as the base coat. Then comes the body colouring, which can be flesh, golden yellow, or pearl. Followed by the varnishing.
The aroma of wet clay mingles with the crackling of straw underfoot. The crisscross bamboo frames build a world of their own. A world where we give back all the light we have been absorbing from the sun, all summer.
Somewhere, frames are being hammered into position. Somewhere trinkets, ornaments, and weapons are being shaped out of foil and tin. Sweat looks like dew drops, as artists conjure the deity, almost by magic.
It's that time of the year when generations of skilled hands meticulously continue to craft a legacy of devotion. When the chatter of children rings louder than the school bell, announcing a month's vacation. When leave applications are granted without having to lie. When the airport gets filled with homecoming footprints running through the arrival gate. When the golden fairy-light mesh above us burns brighter than the stars in our eyes.
With the first fresh breath of autumn, with blooming shiulis filling our cracks and void, with hope stuck between teeth, we are ready.
What a privilege it is to be a part of a city which still vehemently believes in something.

Calcutta Cacophony, on Facebook went on to become one of the biggest mixed media art forums on Facebook of Calcutta, garnering both critical and popular acclaim.
