welcome all to make Puja a grand sucess . In kolkata we many times Make Pandal Themes of Temples of Tamil nadu and Dravidian art . East weet north South we take inspiration of all Cultures and traditions . Smell of Culture has NO borders
I'm from TamilNadu 🇮🇳 Tamilan.... I really wishes to preserve Hindhus culture by Bengalis, How these people praising our Godess Durga...🙏Jai matha Durga...Jai Bangla..
@Anirban Chakraborty it's a hindu festival of bengali hindu community..... That's it...ami Medinipur er basinda amar ekhane Muslim ra kom e beroy Durga Puja R time a.... Kolkata te alada ektu tobuo Bengali hindu Durga Puja is not about communalism but about spirituality..... It's about loving the goddess
@Dean Ambrose Jon Moxley Sorry to inform you that Mondal is a major surname among Bengalis; so Ranu Mondal is not the single person in world carrying that surname
Dada agree Kolkatta puja is another level of puja but come to Delhi in Durga Puja you will also get to know how Delhi’s Bengalis peoples celebrate their pujo please come once Kolkatta pujo is all about pandal only dehi pujo is all about pujo food cultural programs bhog many more s .....
@@rohitpatra3650 you can experience all of that in the smaller pujas of Kolkata as well!! Societies and smaller cultural clubs arrange pujas for the local people. These don't get as much coverage as the bigger ones as people from all around kolkata don't flock to them.
This really brought tears in my eyes.... its been more than a year that we haven't celebrated Puja the way we celebrated in the year 2019... Bolo durga maa ki joy...❤️❤️ I eagerly wait for this time of the year till date... As if when she arrives.. everything would be alright.... Waiting for you Maa ..Give us the strength so that we fight back this pandemic...and get back to those normal days....💙
I am not even Hindu or from India. I am a Bangladeshi Muslim watching this video and getting all kinds of teary over something I have never even experienced. It was so beautiful and so festive. My mind was blown by the second pandal. Hope one day I can visit Kolkata during Durga Pujo
Literally.. I am not bengali. Means I am punjabi by enthencity! But whenever someone talks about bengal or about durga puja. really I feel that "Ami ekjon mon theke bengali"😌❤. I just love dugga pujo a lot means can't described through words.The sounds of dhakis ami k pagol kori ebong kolkata is emotion❤!! Joy dugga🙏
Same bro ditto same. Punjabi living in Bengal( Kolkata ) . Aami o mon theke bangali. I literally know bangla ( the language ) better than I know punjabi. Tho both the cultures are beautiful on their own. Love INDIA😍
Being a bengali i would love to invite you both every year to come to kolkata.. This is an amazing video and i am so happy to see the comment section.. People from different places are enjoying this Celebration by watching you two..
I am a Bengali and I'm so sad right now. It's just 2 months left for Durga Puja.. but everything is very messed up in kolkata due to Covid 19. Please save us all Durga Ma 🙏
Ebar ki anjali dite dibe.. corona.r jonne atleast work from home peye kolkatay achi.. onek jaygay pujo to hocche. But janina ebar kemon anondo korte parbo
“It’s such a violent description but I feel so at peace” - couldn’t have described it better. Last year spent a good 30 mins in Deshapriya Park alone but this year I am looking at this video and reliving the memories. Today is 21st Oct, 2020 - Mahapanchami. Subho Saradiyar preeti o suveccha guys. Thanks again.
Non-Bengalis see Maa Durga as A Devi but we Bengalis see her as our Daughter, that's why we eat non-vegetarian food during pooja as you won't let your daughter only eat veg food if she comes to her father's house only once a year.
Even we are so safe in Bengal that everyone including the ladies ,children and the elders can go for pandal hopping for the whole night without any fear. Really proud to be Bengali and the citizen of the the safest city and the cultural capital of India , THE CITY OF JOY. I ❤ YOU KOLKATA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This video is sooo beautiful. It's so well recorded and everything is been taken care of. I love how this channel is giving such versatile content. First kumbh and then this. About the camera work, it had the vlogging vibe, the edgy feel of food being made, the lights, the beautiful street music, the rich culture, talking and blending with the localites, the way you guys reached the pandal from huge lines to shortcuts, everything.This video is just PERFECT. This couldn't have been done better. Kudos to you guys❤
I’m from kolkata been studying in Canada for almost two years and have missed Durga Puja so much. Thank you so much for posting this video,it’s like I’m seeing it through your eyes. Gave me goosebumps.. Even though I’m miles away, it feels like I’m still so close to home through this video❤️
I feel you...it has been two years since i am also away from my home place, from kolkata...even though am in rajasthan but dont feel the durga pujo vibes
It's been 10 years for me guys. I actually became emotional sitting in my Toronto home. And they are right, I have seen Durga Puja in Bangalore, Hyderabad, California, Alabama and this year in Toronto but nothing can match Puja in Kolkata.
I am a Bengali Muslim girl from Bangladesh. I really love this video. I am hoping to visit West, Bengal in the future to experience the other side of Bengal. It’s really beautiful! ❤️
@@tanishakhan136 কোলকাতার পূজা অবশ্যই দেখবেন। আর এখন কোলকাতা বাদেও অনেক জায়গায় ই বড় বড় পূজা হয় তবে কোলকাতা বেষ্ট ।একবার দেখলে সারা জীবন মনে থাকবে।। একটা ই সমস্যা একটু লাইন দিতে হয় বড় বড় পেন্ডেল গুলি দেখতে। এই ভিডিওতে কোলকাতার পূজোর ১% ও দেখানো হয়নি ।😊
And the most beautiful thing is that Durga puja is not a religious festival. But it's more like a social occasion. We all celebrate it with great joy in Bengal. It's an emotion. Bengalis will never be divided by communal politics. ❤️
That comment by Satyam "Calcutta people know how to celebrate" just stole my heart....Thank you guys for this wonderful video.. enjoyed each and every bit of it..Do visit again ❤️
Thanks for coming to Kolkata. Durga puja is the life of Bengal. And this is from a Bengali Christian because we proud bengalis celebrate this festival from our heart more than religion.
That's lovely to read. It's the same feeling that Kolkatans feel come Christmas time. Kolkata shows the rest of the country what it means not just to co-exist but to celebrate our differences!!
I have been away from Kolkata for 2 years now. Durga Pujo is around the corner, this video brings back a lot of memories with tears in my eyes. As a Bengali, I know it is impossible to cover the entire vibe of Pujo but you guys nailed it! Miss Kolkata
This 10 days' energy is what drives every Bengali for rest of the year. In 10days, we lose all our negativity and we gain lot of positivity with togetherness, good memories and spirituality. A great rejuvenation through celebration. More than a new year celebration, Durga Puja is our new beginning with the faith that no matter what, truth shall prevail, victory of good over evil. Thank you for making such an effort to present us this video! That passion is visible. You guys really made an honest attempt! Appreciate it 👏 hope you keep coming and enjoying more such Durga Puja celebration in your lifetime! I know the humidity factor in Kolkata is great no no for many but still anything for experiencing Durga Puja 🙌
Thank you Ok tested for this video.. It is the saddest time of the year for a bengali when durgapuja is over.. and you gave me the flavour of puja again.. love you people..
Obviously hobe!!! I am from puja forum kolkata!! After mahalaya all the clubs started their work in small scale!!! But the thing you and all kolkata people have to follow the sop
@@alwaysunique2977 sure❤️ I have an Instagram page @calcutta_igers please contact me if you need to share any kind of guidelines (personal ID - @ig_flickinit)
Also this is probably the only festival where I have seen people crying literally when it ends..more than a pujo this is about homecoming of maa Durga...that's why the 'Bisorjon' is so sad to see...huge huge emotions...it's been almost a month..I am still on pujo hangover
I am literally crying right now because this year covid messed up everything.apart from that the vibe of joy which is in every Bengali heart is the same. Subho Mohalaya to all of #oktested team and a very happy Durga Puja in advance. Bolo Durga Mai Ki .....❤️
@LOGICAL MIND Apni comment ta pore reply korechen to?apnar biswas apnar kache amar ta amar thakuk.thanks for your valuable opinion.theres so much people with their different perspectives of opinions.you believe it or not its upto you.but you dont have the right to judge others.think twice,youtube as a free community give the opportunity to speak what you think.that is why you are forcefully imposing your opinion on me.right?being an atheist suits you,I say better for you.but dont try to convince to do so to me because Im not and dont want to.thank you.
I m literally getting goosebumps and have tears of joy in my eyes.... while watching this ... Durga Puja is not a festival for us...it is an emotion..❤️
Thank you so much guys for introducing the way how Bengali's celebrate. Its really can't express my words. Now i maked up mind to celebrate my next durgastami in bengal. But it was some what same as how Andhrapradesh and telanga people celebrate vinayaka chavathi. Its really an emotion. Once again thank you ok tested for making to know my neighbour states tradition of celebrating festival . 😍😍
I've been in Lucknow and it hosts the largest number of Durga Pujas in the entire state of Uttar Pradesh, so there's nothing new for me, owing to the cooperation between Bengali community and the non-Bengali Lucknowi people, but still I wanna experience the vibes in Kolkata too, atleast once in a lifetime!!!
was feeling a bit sad and low, again this video came into feed and rewarched it and just felt a different vibe and energetic.Much love to OK TESTED team and DURGA MA KI JAY.❤️
18:07 that's true... Ami bangali hoye bolchi durga pujo amader kache sudhu akta utsov noi eta amader emotion, eta amader bhalobasa, eta amader respect sob milia akta abeg
Wow... Such a vibrant culture 😍😍😍😍 awesome... Our India is truly awesome.. 😍 feeling really happy and proud to watch this.. Do come to Kerala for celebrating onam 😍 Love from Kerala... 😊
Exactly. Now by the next year, all the reactions channels will have reacted on this one. Hehehe. But, boy oh boy. This is the first vid from this channel I am watching. Well, RU-vid suggested Durga Puja, I am lyk: "neki? Aur puch puch?" I am glad I watched it. Totally, relived the moments right from Ashthami Day till the Visarjan. And I actually liked the camaraderie between the two boys. Bromance . Haha. Wishing them a life time of friendship, and happiness and success and the best of luck for their Channel.
this is 2021 and TMW IS "MAHALAYA"...Whwn i heard thesong "amay prosno kore neel dhruvo tara" in around section 11.50..it felt like i am walking throuhjthe same streets listening to it .Felt so real..will be going thru the same feeling some days later on. loved the video... best wishes for durga puja 2021.
I was there for the Pujas and visited each of these pandals. And now I've moved back to college. And this video gives the feels man. All the craziness, the excitement and celebration has been amazingly captured in this video. This is the only reason why people from Kolkata always make it a point to go home during Pujas. Durga Puja is a feeling. Good work, Akshay and Satyam and the team !
This year we missed everything. The madness, the vibe, the energy, the stalls, the food, pandals, decors, light. It was the saddest 5 days ever. I really hope next year Maa Durga comes with all her glory and not like this. Asche bochor abar hobe without the masks and Covid 💗

M very proud.. That i am from kolkata.. Kolkata's people waited the whole year for Durga pujo... Still missed the last year pandal hopping for covid.. Hope this year will not happen again... N u both did very good work... Keep it up.. 😊😊😊😊😊
Guys I've lived in Kolkata for 5 years as my dad was in army..and its been 10 years I've shifted from there..by seeing this video I recalled all the moments of durga pujo n the fun we had...Thank you so much for this video 😊😍
I am getting Goosebumps while watching this though I have seen many puja in my life but watching such a video in the time of lockdown is such a nostalgia ♥️♥️♥️
Hey Akash and Satyam, I can't thank you eneough for what you and your team has created. I was in Kolkata for the last 11 years and a month back I moved to Blore. This video made my day. I literally had tears twice during the video because I could feel the energy and it took me back to what I had cherished for the last so many years. @OkTested, I can't thank you eneough. God Bless you guys!
Wooowwww!!!! while watching the video its like I am totally into it and virtually experiencing each and every part of the celebrations....It's worth a watch....to really visit Kolkata during Durga pooja seek blessings and make memories to cherish them in future.....A very good job by the team of Ok tested.... huge appreciation to everyone who made this video...Its like a feast to eyes....😀
"North indian people knows how to party but calcuttan people knows how to celebrate ".....love you brothers for this comment ...visit again in kolkata ..lots of love from kolkata
'yaha ke level bahat alag hai bro'.... Hits me hard. Thats true brother. Being a bengali hindu isiliye time milne ke baad bhi pujo ke time humlog kolkata chhorke kahi aur ghumne nahi jate.
Durgapujo mane Kolkata Kolkata mane Durgapujo . This is our emotion ♥️ Thank you so much for coming here. Hope you guys enjoyed a looooooooooot. Love you. ♥️
I watched this video @ 4 AM while having walk with earphones plugged and can't express what I felt. It was surreal esp. when they zoomed in Maa's eyes. Then there was Amay proshno kore moment.. uff ma! Bhishon bhalo. Taking us to and fro to food spree and digging out the famous mutton roll..ahhhh! Editor, director, cast and crew, you get a thumbs up from a bong. We know u missed a lot but what all you covered was just amazing. You can feel the atmosphere and vibes and I as audience felt the same through you. I was crying because i missed my roots at that very moment. Thanks 4 getting me to my break point. Dedicating to my late father, who never got a chance to take his married daughter, son-in-law, grand daughter and above all, most beloved late but wife together to his native town.
It sad we are never going feel the same vibe even after pandemic gets over because it has changed our habits but thanks to OK tested videos because they have recorded that vibe a bit and its like living in nostalgia or something that we are missing and its not going to be the same for many of us. A big thanks to this channel and yes 2019 was the last pooja or any other festival that we enjoyed with our full hearts.
These videos encourage me to visit all the cultures and experience all the religion being a proud muslim. All i want is to finish my studies and travel the world, thank you #oktested
Being a Bangali....I just wanna say that this video deserves a million or more than that likes and nit just that, it also deserves much appreciation that OKTESTED brought this video...loved it just simply lived it❤️
Satyam after biting that roll: Dada do aur banana 🤣🤣🤣 My all time favourite pandal is of Mudiali Club exactly where the Kahaani movie was also shot. Kolkata's Durga Puja is different. I hop for all 4 days. Even I go to Babughat for Maa's immersion!! I don't eat nonveg during puja and I badly miss those food stuffs.
I am a bangali and I know the feeling they felt at that time+I am a small artist too so also I could understand the beauty of the pandle and lastly I love to hear the mahalaya mantra of sir Birendra 😍😍( joi ma durga)🎉🎉🎉
Watching this video to remind myself how it used to feel to enjoy Durga Pujo like this before pandemic & having hope to again enjoy like this in the near future! A great coverage of by the way! ❤️
@LOGICAL MIND wtf is wrong with you? Commenting the same f*cking shit everywhere. U can't force your belief upon another person. Let them believe what they want to.
You guys said many things good about Durga puja in Kolkata but I like most the essence of Durga puja which u said very correctly north India me they know how to party but in Bengal they know how to celebrate . Love u guys for yr video .
@@sachinkumar-xe5rh yes, Devi is mostly chaturbhuja, Ashtbhuja , Dashbhuja and sahastrabhuja . The most revered form in north n west India is of Ashtbhuja and in the east is Dashbhuja
