    Modern Asian Studies: page 1 of 39 C Cambridge University Press 2017 doi:10.1017/S0026749X16000913 REVIEW ARTICLE Goddess in the City: Durga pujas of contemporary Kolkata∗ MANAS RAY Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta, India Email: [email protected] Tapati Guha-Thakurta, In the Name of the Goddess: The Durga Pujas of Contemporary Kolkata (Primus Books, Delhi, 2015). The goddess can be recognized by her step. Virgil, The Aeneid,I,405. Introduction Durga puja, or the worship of goddess Durga, is the single most important festival in Bengal’s rich and diverse religious calendar. It is not just that her temples are strewn all over this part of the world. In fact, goddess Kali, with whom she shares a complementary history, is easily more popular in this regard. But as a one-off festivity, Durga puja outstrips anything that happens in Bengali life in terms of pomp, glamour, and popularity. And with huge diasporic populations spread across the world, she is now also a squarely international phenomenon, with her puja being celebrated wherever there are even a score or so of Hindu Bengali families in one place. This is one Bengali festival that has people participating across religions and languages. In that ∗ Acknowledgements: Apart from the two anonymous reviewers who made meticulous suggestions, I would like to thank the following: Sandhya Devesan Nambiar, Richa Gupta, Piya Srinivasan, Kamalika Mukherjee, Ian Hunter, John Frow, Peter Fitzpatrick, Sumanta Banjerjee, Uday Kumar, Regina Ganter, and Sharmila Ray.

    IROWA DIRECTORY 2018 Indian Oil Retired Officers Welfare Association The Future of Energy? The Choice is Natural! Natural Gas is emerging as the fuel of the 21 century, steadily replacing liquid fuels and coal due to its low ecological footprint and inherent advantages for all user segments; Industries-Transport- Households. Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IndianOil), India's downstream petroleum major, proactively took up marketing of natural gas over a decade ago through its joint venture, Petronet LNG Ltd., that has set up two LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) import terminals at Dahej and Kochi on the west coast of India. Over the years, the Corporation has rapidly expanded its customer base of gas-users by leveraging its proven marketing expertise in liquid fuels and its countrywide reach. Its innovative 'LNG at the Doorstep' initiative is highly popular with bulk consumers located away from pipelines. IndianOil is now importing more quantities of LNG directly to meet the increasing domestic demand. A 5-MMTPA LNG terminal being set up by IndianOil at Kamarajar Port in Ennore has achieved an overall progress of over 90% till now and would be commissioned by the end of 2018. The Corporation is currently operating city gas distribution (CGD) networks, offering compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicles and piped natural gas (PNG) for households, in nine Geographical Areas (GA) through two joint ventures. Considering the growth potential in gas business, the Company is aggressively taking part in the various bidding rounds for Gas. IndianOil is also adding CNG as green auto-fuel at its 27,000+ fuel stations across India and is also collaborating with fleet owners and automobile manufacturers to promote the use of LNG as transportation fuel.

ORCID: 0000-0002-8577-4878. Email: [email protected] Abstract Indian travel writings in English exclusively on Kolkata have been rare even though tourist guidebooks such as the Lonely Planet have dedicated sections on the city. In such a scenario, Amit Chaudhuri’s Calcutta: Two Years in the City (2016) and Bishwanath Ghosh’s Longing Belonging: An Outsider at Home in Calcutta (2014) stand out as exceptions. Both these narratives, written by probashi (expatriate) Bengalis, represent Kolkata though a bifocal lens. On the one hand, their travels are a journey towards rediscovering their Bengali roots and on the other, their representation/construction of the city of Kolkata is as hard-boiled as any seasoned traveller. The contention of this paper is that both Chaudhuri and Ghosh foreground certain selected/pre- determined signifiers that are common to Kolkata for the purpose of their representation which are instrumental in constructing the ‘gaze’ of their readers towards the city. This process of ‘gaze’ construction is studied by applying John Urry and Jonas Larsen’s conceptualization of the ‘tourist gaze’.

The locality is home and workplace to around five hundred artists and artisans, specialists and masters in the art of devotional sculpture in unbaked clay, who fashion the pratimas (deity-icons) for Durga Puja and other Bengali religious festivals. Kumartuli is the heart and focus in West Bengal for pratimashilpa (the metier of making deity-icons). It was founded after the mass migration of Kumbhakars (earthen-pot makers) from Krishnanagar, now in the district of Nadia (sixty-five miles north of Kolkata), to the metropolis and their subsequent colonisation of a vicinity they called the tuli (locality) of the kumar (potters).

  • Durga Pujas As Expressions of 'Urban Folk Culture'
    DurgaPujas-Urban Folk Culture 3324/ 23102011 DUrga pUjas as expressions oF ‘Urban Folk CUltUre’ Jawhar Sircar Times of India, 23rd October 2011 To an outsider visiting Calcutta, or Kolkata as she is now called, during its ‘annual autumnal madness’, the city conjures unforgettable visions — whether pleasant or otherwise is, of course, an independent and subjective matter. A metropolis, which, even during a normal day (not that there are too many such days), strains every muscle to prevent itself from bursting at its seams, now witnesses over ten million people on its streets. Hordes of viewers keep pushing incessantly and jostling in suffocating queues, to snatch fleeting glimpses of as many of the one and a half thousand ‘Durga’ images as they plan to, or possibly can. It is part of the ‘game’ to tally the ‘scores’ and to narrate to each other the ‘novelties’ observed at specific temporary sites — ‘pandals’ as they are called — and to relate other ‘finer points’ to those who are yet to visit these spots. ‘Pandal-hopping’ is a skill that requires considerable energy and practice — and the common citizen of Kolkata possesses an unusual expertise in this sphere. To him, it is not the ‘same set of gods’ over and over again — almost every site has a different ‘theme’: for craftsmen have toiled and sweated, so that millions may see, appreciate and tell the world about their ‘creations’. Where sheer numbers are concerned, one may compare the size of the ‘ puja crowds’ of Kolkata with other massive congregations, to get the picture in its perspective.
