Navratri 2012 was a spiritual and cultural revelation for me, as I immersed myself in the grandeur of Durga Puja celebrations at CR Park in Delhi. The vibrant pandals, adorned with intricate depictions of Goddess Durga, captured the essence of Bengali traditions and showcased India’s incredible cultural diversity. Each evening brought a new experience—whether it was attending musical nights, witnessing cultural dances, or participating in the unique Sindur Khela ritual, which was entirely new to me. With my camera in hand, I documented these vibrant moments, capturing not only the beauty of CR Park’s festivities but also a Durga Puja pandal close to my Gurgaon home at sector 40.
