Durga Puja beyond Kolkata - I took the opportunity to see the rural side with a Bengal based travel agency who are opening in UK - the first from Bengal to do so. Hoping they will spearhead efforts to market this remarkable celebration.

Whist always a religious festival first and foremost the artistic creativity of the pandals also make this probably the best street art festival in the world.
So why not more international visitors?

Always nice to have a welcome party when you land back from leave. Actually they’d come to welcome someone else but a few of them knew me too 😝
