Century old fair of metropolitan City of Kolkata

Actually Kolkata city was initiated when Job Charnock arrived in Kolkata. He identified three villages Gobindapur, Sutanati and Kolikata. He purchased the villages from Sabarna Roychowdhury of Barisha who was woner of these villages.

There are Chandi Temple and other Courtyard to celebrate annual Devi Chandi and Durga Puja which are are held even today. In the occasion of Chandi Puja a fair is held for fortnight in the ground of temple and surrounding area. It is considered to be held before the city was initiated.

Just few decades ago Kolkata Municipal Corporation extended their area and Barisha also become part of the city.

There are many more fairs were held in the city which are still continuing. On the occasion of Kali Puja there's a fair held at Parnasree area. I belong to Parnasree Police Station. I visited the fair on the last month. Here are some glimpses of the fair. The fair is century old. Many of the traditional items are seen.

Thank you for visiting.
