One of Bengal’s top sculptor and idol maker, Pradip Rudrapal is for the first time delving into creating a puja pandal theme for Telengabagan Sarbojanin Durga Puja in North Kolkata in 2019.

The theme “Punorjanmo” is a symbolic clarion call for each of us to introspect and transform ourselves and our modern society which has fallen into a vice-like demonic grip of fake news, trolling and has made us spiritually distant. Pradip will be depicting this situation in the form of a 40-feet asura having a stranglehold on our society with his powers while Maa Durga, seated in a meditative posture, would deliver mankind from the dark forces.

“At the core of the Punorjanmoor Reincarnation theme is Tamaso Maa Jyotirgamaya i.e., from darkness to the light.

The meditative pose of Maa Durga symbolising our inner spiritual power would be mesmerizing treat for the pandal hoppers this year. Music, vedic chants and shlokas would further add to the ambiance.
