Haridevpur 41 Pally Sarbojanin Durgotsav:

In their fifty fifth year, Haridevpur 41 Pally presented -
“Devi Dekche Devi Dekche
Saap Ludote Jibon Utche Jibon Namche.”

The success quotient in human life is directly proportional to his expertise in work , meticulousness, diligence  and his job skills and the development of the society depends on his ardent and selfless participation . Accomplishments and achievements in human life is ephemeral, it is transitory. The wheel of Fortune keeps on rotating and automatically Man's destiny also oscillates between prosperity and uncertainty, something which happens in the Game of Ludo-Snack that is characterized by continuous upward and downward movement.
A person climbs up the pinnacle of success and can be reduced to someone very trivial, inconsequential and insubstantial, this is the harsh reality and the irony of life. Such drastic changes and the flow in our life is controlled by an unseen force, by  the overseeing presence of someone. It is Ma Durga who is the controller of destiny; it is She who administrates the moments of happiness and melancholy in Human life. This concept is depicted in 41 Palli Haridevpur with schematic representations being used as one of the tools of Pandal decor materials such as iron, wood, brass, bronze are used profusely to make the Pandal structure.

Vivekanda Athletic Sarbojanin Durgotsav:

In Durga Pujo 2012, Vivekanda Athletic presents Amor Sarkar's presentation of “Hathe Niye Prodip Mukhomukhi Ishwar”.
In our childhood days Durga Pujo had an altogether different interpretation. It was all about absorbing ourselves fully into merriment and profuse enjoyment. Wearing a new dress and running to the Pujo Pandal as soon as the sound of the Dhak is heard, it had an entirely different charm. The smell of festival filled the air and we used to watch how the priest performed Aarti in front of Ma Durga , how his hands used to sway with the rhythmic beating  sound of Dhak and Kashor Ghanta. The process of Aarti was strenuous and involved great physical exercise, the priest would sweat but nothing could deter him from offering his earnest prayers to Goddess Durga. The beams and rays of the candles and diyas would make Ma Durga's face shine with radiance, glow with an inexplicable ethereal beauty. It would appear as if Ma Durga is pulsating with life and She would grant all our prayers, desires and wishes.
In such a divine environment replenished with illumination and the heartwarming sound of the Dhak reaching its crescendo all that we as a  child wished was to secure good results and pass our examination with flying colors. The importance and the inherent beauty of Aarti in Durga Pujo still remains the same, might be the implication, perception, realization and the feelings it inspire have changed a bit. The light of diya signifies the light of spiritual knowledge and we make our honest and humble plea to Ma Durga to kindle the light of this devotional and religious knowledge within us.
The sound of the dhak spiritually elevates our soul and fills our mind with sublime, lofty thoughts. It allow us to forget the worries of our daily existence , the mundaneness of everyday  life . The camphor when burns create an impression as if all the fears, anxieties , perplexities that mar our moments of happiness are also being dissolved and buried down. This deep cognizance  and profundity of thought have acted as the stimulus for Vivekananda Athletic Durga Pujo 2012.
