Devi Durga

  • Sharebar

‘Devi Durga’ traces the genesis of the Durga Puja, the cherished festival of the Bengalis, that is said to have started in 1757 by the elite of Bengal and in conjunction with the British. The film explores the amalgamation of cultures and racial features in the facial features of the goddess. Such an amalgamation and reflection of contemporary times can also be seen in the structure of the idol. Over time, many of these changed to take on contemporary hues, characters and narratives. The film journeys through time to present how the imagination and the image of the goddess has kept up with and changed with the changing times. Today the goddess is global; seen, received and worshipped across the globe and across India. And present times also bring a myriad artistic exploration of her form and perhaps function.
