Theme - OUR PUJA THEME 2015 “SUTOI SUTOI TAANT , KORBO EBAR MAAT†Bengal’s handloom, banglartantis just not an industry. Handloom itself represents the rich tradition of Bengal. Centuries back weavers in Santipur started their journey. But not only Nadia, the handloom industry is rich in its variation and weavers are spread all over Bengal. Tant, Baluchari, Kantha, or DhakaiJamdani we love them all. The industry has survived tough competitions.Emergence of modern technology, dearth of capital, and open economy all have posed challenges, but the weavers are determined to excel. This year our Durgpuja theme is Bengal’s handloom. Our Puja pandal décor will be a perfect package to portray the beauty, variety and longevity of the age old industry. We would pay tributeto Bengal handloom & the weavers through our Puja theme this year.
