Curtain Raiser is a weekly column by YS Life to nudge our readers in the right direction and make the most of their weekends. It brings to you the curation of major events across Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata.
Here's what you can do this weekend:
Bengaluru
Durga Puja, Socio Cultural Association
You can take a Bengali away from Kolkata, but you cannot take Kolkata away from a Bengali. It is that time of the year again. Bengalis across the globe are decking up to welcome Durga Maa and celebrate the power of good over evil. After two years of mellowed and scaled-down Durga Puja, the pre-pandemic enthusiasm is back again. But for those who couldn't make it home this year, especially due to the sky-soaring airfares, YS Life has got you covered.
The Socio Cultural Organisation in Indiranagar, Bengaluru, is celebrating its 51st Durga Puja this year. Known for its food stalls and cultural programmes, an evening here is the closest to home you will ever feel.
