 As my blog viewers searching many times for my last year post Durga Puja in Kharagpur 2013,Durgapuja in Kolkata 2013,Durgapuja in south kolkata 2013.So this year I am trying to cover most places in Kharagpur and Kolkata and some near about places.

If you belongs from Kharagpur than definitely know that some places in kharagpur have big attraction in every puja like:Mathrakati MS type railway colony which also known as Ram babu Pandal,Avijatri club Jhapatapur, Subhaspally, Malancha etc.

From last some years due to rain crowed are less in most puja pandals but this year due to good weather huge crowd comes in different puja pandals in town.

Most of the pandal decorate with a meaningful theme, I am going to present puja in kharagpur and near about area in different section. In this part you can watch the picture and video of Malancha and mathrakati or railway colony area.

After a long time I was in Kharagpur during saptami .In my school days I was going to watch different pandals in early morning and after a long time today I was again went to watch different pandals of  town .It was 4.30 A.M. when there was no  crowed only the morning walkers  were available in road and pandal side. Nothing was changed in last ten years.
