In Calcutta the Durga puja is a biggest festival for the Hindus. The bagbazar durgapuja is a puja which has traditional style. There is daker saaj. Dak in bengali means post. Previously the decorations of Goddess Durga used to come by courier and transport. From there the term came. Goddess Laxmi Ganesha Kartik and Saraswati are showed on both sides of Goddess Durga.
