S B Park’s club president, Mr. Sanjay Majumder, said they are very proud to celebrate the 53rd year with this special theme. In a world where there are many problems, like politics, religion, money, and the climate, the puja tries to find answers with art. The idea of “We have arrived in a new land” comes from Rabindranath Tagore, a famous writer. He talked about a life where there are no differences or divisions. The festival area itself shows this idea. Just like birds don’t need a country or a passport to fly, people at the puja feel like there are no differences. Mr. Sanjay Majumder invited everyone to come and enjoy the festival with their family and friends. It’s a special celebration that brings people together.
