Would you join a city of 15 million people as it transforms into the world’s largest open-air art gallery for ten unforgettable days?
Welcome to Durga Puja in Kolkata, a UNESCO-recognised cultural masterpiece where devotion, design, and community come alive. From towering 60-foot goddess idols to pandals modelled after pyramids, Hogwarts, and futuristic skylines—this isn’t just a festival; it’s an experience.
What’s Inside This Episode:
✅ The story of how Durga Puja grew from humble rituals to 3,000+ pandals.
✅ Street parades, dhak drumming marathons, food fiestas & fashion nights.
✅ Behind-the-scenes event management: artists, electricians, police, decorators & cultural committees work months in advance.
✅ Why Puja is a living case study in world-class event management.
At GIEM (Global Institute of Event Management), we believe festivals like this prove one thing: event management is both an art and a science. That’s why we train the next generation of event leaders with live exposure, industry expertise, and hands-on learning that no textbook can match.
Local in soul, global in impact, Durga Puja shows how events can unite people across cultures.
