durga puja http://kalw.org en Happy Puja! http://kalw.org/post/happy-puja <p>Durga Puja is the highest of high holidays for Bengalis when the mother Goddess comes home for five days every year. Bengalis abroad get very nostalgic at the mention of Durga Puja. The Bay Area hosts about half a dozen alone. But back in the Puja's home territory there's much grousing that the grand puja has become too tacky, too commercialized and too nouveaux riche.&nbsp;</p> Wed, 24 Oct 2012 14:45:00 +0000 Sandip Roy 18387 at http://kalw.org Happy Puja!
