China — Where the Dragon Meets the Divine
16 — 21 October 2026 · Netaji Sarak, Behala, Kolkata
A cinematic journey through Chinese architectural grandeur, crimson lanterns, imperial gold, dragons and the timeless presence of Maa Durga. The visual language is inspired by the meeting of two ancient civilisations — China and Bengal — expressed through light, craftsmanship, sound and sacred space.
A glowing procession of red lanterns leads visitors from the outer world into the themed experience.
Dragon-inspired sculptural forms represent strength, protection and the dramatic movement of divine energy.
Layered Chinese rooflines, arches and imperial colour palettes create the entrance narrative.
At the heart of the Chinese-inspired journey remains the sacred Bengali identity of Durga Puja. The architectural spectacle frames — rather than replaces — the idol, ritual and community celebration.
The final idol styling can be customised to complement the Chinese visual vocabulary while preserving the traditional iconography of Maa Durga.
