In Kolkata, one Durga Puja pandal stands out with its bold theme: “Brake Fail.” It highlights how divorce can shake up a family’s world, especially for children caught in the middle.
Club member Sanchita Chakraborty shared the idea with on Monday. “When people hear ‘brake fail,’ they might picture a car skidding out of control,” she said. “But we’re talking about relationships hitting the brakes and breaking down.” The setup uses everyday scenes to show the emotional toll on kids, urging couples to pause and reflect before deciding on divorce. “We’re not against it,” Chakraborty added. “We just want parents to consider how it affects their little ones.”
This creative twist fits right into Kolkata’s vibrant Durga Puja scene, where the nine-day Navratri festival brings huge crowds and thoughtful displays. Across West Bengal’s capital, pandals mix devotion with hot topics like artificial intelligence, environmental issues, and changing family life. These themes spark conversations while families celebrate Maa Durga’s victory over evil.
Take the Jagat Mukherjee Park pandal, for example. It dives into “Artificial Intelligence: A Blessing or a Curse?” Right at the entrance, a massive Transformer statue welcomes visitors, nodding to smart machines and automation reshaping our lives. Inside, you spot cool tech setups: multiplexer circuits that mimic AI decision-making, rows of diodes and breadboards for the gadgets behind it all, and server racks humming like the digital heartbeat of tomorrow. A towering high-vacuum structure hints at cutting-edge AI power. Yet, at the heart of it stands the idol of Goddess Durga, reminding everyone that faith anchors even our tech-driven world.
Durga Puja in Kolkata keeps evolving, blending tradition with timely messages that get people talking.
