Golden Temple comes to Park Circus for Durga Puja View Comments

Oct16

I couldn’t resist clicking this morning, as I was about to take cab for office from Park Circus. As always, the Durga Puja pandal at PC is turning out to be magnificent and this year’s theme is Golden Temple, Amritsar. Although not yet completed, with ornamentation and much of the frills yet to be done, it is strikingly similar to the original masterpiece. It is one of the biggest Pujas in Kolkata with millions thronging the Puja fair, which lasts well over a month after the Pujas are over. Below are 2 snaps from my cell, will keep on posting more

I AM WONDER WHAT IS THIS.IDOL WORSHIP IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND WHAT THE ARRANGER OF PANDAALS ARE DOING.SRI HARMANDER SAHIB IS LIKE HOME OF GOD WHERE THE PERSON FROM ANY CAST OR RELIGION IS WELCOME AND GET THE PEACE OF MIND. YOU PLACE IT LIKE A DUMMY WILL YOU PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DUMMY PARENTS.ITS TERRIBLE.

Sikhs are not Hindus .. respectfully speaking. The teachings of Sikhi and Hindu society are a world apart. The Harimandir Sahib Jee's four doors signifies the equality of all human kind while Hindu society follow the socially evil caste system. Sikhs do not belive in idol worship. With no respect intended to the larger Hindu society .. their are extremist right wings elements within Hindu society which are working to destroy Sikhi in India as they did the Jainism and Buddhism.
