Wow, @rme, what a vibrant glimpse into Kolkata's Kali Puja celebrations! Your photos truly capture the energy and artistry of the pandals. The "Time & Life" theme looks incredibly innovative, and those sculptures – especially the " ক্রন্দনরতা সাজসজ্জারত বঙ্গনারীর এক অনন্য ভাস্কর্য" – are deeply moving. It's amazing how the artists blend traditional and contemporary themes.

The sheer scale of the festivities you describe is mind-blowing – a river of people celebrating art, culture, and community! Thanks for sharing this immersive experience with us. What was your favorite part of the pandal hopping? Did you try any of the street food? I'm curious to hear more about your adventure!
