Beleghata Sandhani Club began its journey in the year 1970. The club will be completing its 50th year in 2019. A press meet was organized to throw light on the theme of the Puja.

Gracing the press meet was Moubani Sorcar, Anindya Banerjee, Sandip Ghosh, Arup Kumar Ghosh, Ashok Bhattacharya, Krishanu Pal and others.

The theme has been conceptualised by Krishanu Pal. The theme this year is Paramatwik. The knowledge from the books like Vedas and Upanishads and on the other hand, scientific knowledge-they both have something in common. They may seem to be different yet they are very similar in many areas. This is what will be explored in the theme at the puja.

The theme music has been composed by Joy Sarkar and the lighting has been done by Ashish Saha.

Speaking at the event, Moubani Sorcar said “My father once said an important thing. What is magic tomorrow is science tomorrow. The theme this year is very apt and will be eye catching. I am glad I have been asked to attend this event”.

The pandal is being constructed for the last three months. Bamboo, wood, iron, plastic and fibre glass has been used to make the pandal.

Anindya Banerjee mentioned that despite so many government changes in Bengal, the club has maintained their individuality and is completing 50 years in 2019 which is a big feat in itself.

The inauguration will be done on 1st October in the presence of Sovandeb Chattopadhyay, Hon’ble Minister of Power, Govt of West Bengal, Sudip Bandopadhyay, MP, Kolkata Uttar, Suchandra Vaaniya, Producer of film Purba Paschim Dakshin Uttar Asbei, Pritam Kotal, footballer and other eminent dignitaries.

A tree planting initiative has also been undertaken to save the environment.
The puja committe members feel that Beleghata Sandhani’s theme puja will surely catch the eyes in this year’s Durga Puja for sure.
