Durga Puja in Kolkata is not something that words can describe. You have to witness it to realise the refined artistry, effort and community involvement that goes into making the largest open-air art festival in the world, a roaring success every year. It’s the first festival in Asia that has made it to UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) of Humanity. For four unforgettable days, the city stays wide awake, as people of all communities come together to celebrate.

While 30 million people visit the festival every year from India and abroad, around 3000 Durga idols and art installations adorn every alley, every street in the city. To give you an exclusive preview of this famous art fest a week before it actually takes off, we will take you to some the most exquisite installations. We have curated the following itineraries. Choose the one that suits you best.
