This year with the blessing of the Goddess Durga, Ballygunge 21 Pally Sarbojanin Durgotsab Samiti, Khunthi Puja, was performed on the auspicious day of 4th of August 2024 at the Puja pandal. The day concluded with the spectacular presence of little students of Miranda House dressed up as “Ambani family” members.
“Durga Puja is a festival close to the heart of every Calcuttan. There can be no better way to celebrate Maa’s coming than a Khunti Puja. Today’s kids get such lovely opportunities to participate in events like these. These events not only boosts their confidence but also give them a lovely platform to showcase their talent. Our kids are delighted, in fact more than them, it is their parents who are excited,” Shubbi Tandon, Coordinator, Miranda House.
