Diwali and Holi could be the most spoken about festivals of India, but the biggest revelry in Bengal, Durga Pujo festival which takes place for 5 days(apparently) in Autumn is worth the mention to the culture and Art connoisseurs around the world. Being a Bengali,though I’m residing abroad in US for many years now, each year my heart wails and I turn restless if I’m not able to make it to my homeland to get the smell of Autumn and Durga Pujo. It brings me immense pride to introduce you all about the festival in my culture and place of birth. This is the annual celebration of Hindu religion revering the Homecoming of Ma Durga, the Goddess representing Shakti or Female Strength &power. Its a multi day festival that features elaborate temples, pandals(stage decorations) , scriptures, performance arts, fairs, food, oceanic count of crowds and lots of fun. This is that time of the year where artists from every corner of West Bengal come together and put their sweat for months and months in preparing these works of grandeur Art, just to treat our eyes on these special five days in Autumn, Sept/Oct. During this time, people of every age group, religious backgrounds, caste and languages come together to be lost equally in this revelry of absolute food and fun. Visitors from all over the country as also from many parts of the world throng in to be enthralled by such massive creativity display at one place. #mycityofkolkata #durgapujoinkolkata #festivaltime

Raajkutir - IHCL SeleQtions

10/10 Excellent

"My friend and I had a lovely 5 night stay at the RaajKutir - Kolkata. All of the staff were extremely helpful in meeting all of our needs including arranging easy and clear airport transport as well as cars to take us around the city and to temples. Our room was beautiful, spacious and very clean and the food was amazing. The hotel staff including Sous Chef - Ankur Halder, Munshi and Mohan Thapa went out of their way to make us feel welcome and expectations exceed. We also had multiple spa services and the spa staff and facilities were excellent. Many thanks! I highly recommend RaajKutir to anyone visiting Kolkata. "

Hyatt Regency Kolkata

10/10 Excellent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I researched many hotels in Kolkata before choosing the Hyatt Regency, and I’m so glad I did. Considering the price, luxury, service, and safety — everything here is truly above the top. The hotel is very neat and clean, and the atmosphere feels both elegant and comfortable. Their breakfast is phenomenal, offering great variety and quality. The location is also convenient — not far from the international airport, which makes travel easy"
