Kolkata Puja visitors and readers exploring Bengali festival culture

Field notes

The page combines a story sequence with a festival calendar, ritual glossary, area-based puja listings, and a historical timeline. Its timeline distinguishes traditional dating from documented dates and explicitly notes disagreement over the first Barowari puja; visible source references include The Hindu, Wikipedia, DNA India, and kolkatadurgotsav.com. The extracted page also labels one illustration as generated.
