Mohammad Ali Park is famous of it's "Ek Chalai Thakur"
which means "All the Gods and Goddesses on the same frame"

Nalin Sarkar Street (I loved this pandal)




The entrance to the pandal
Did you notice the unique goemetry of the gates?

Charkha (Used for weaving Cotton clothes)
On entering this pandal, I noticed that there were
no idols of Ganesh, Saraswati , Lakshmi and kartik.
 Then my mother brought my attention towards
 The Stick that Devi Durga was holding in her right hand.
 The idols of Ganesh, Saraswati , Lakshmi and kartik were sculpted on the stick
The reason being that Devi Durga's strength is in her children. Her children are her source of power. And every year she comes accompanied by her children's to destroy the evil forces.
Devi Durga's feets
Kumartuli
Idol of Baba Loknath imparting an atmosphere of peace
and serenity
