Durga Puja Festival

Kawad artist Dwarika Prasad Jangid, from Bassi village of Chittorgarh, Rajasthan painting on wooden panel of a makeshift pandal for upcoming Durga Puja festival in Kolkata , India on Thursday , 22nd September , 2016. A Kawad is an amazing wooden painted temple, with lots of panels and secret compartments that fold out to tell a story that's narrated in rhythmic pattern by opening successive doors and pointing towards the next painting. Traditionally Kawads are based on Rama's & Krishna's stories. But with the change in times, they also make stories on contemporary, festivals, historical and social issues. Durga Puja is the largest Hindu festival involves worship of the Goddess Durga, who symbolizes power and the triumph of good over evil Mahisasura in Hindu mythology.
