West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee took out a rally on Thursday to show gratitude to UNESCO for placing Kolkata’s Durga Puja on the intangible cultural heritage consultant list. Secretary of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage Tim Curtis and UNESCO consultant for the New Delhi office Eric Falt were in the metropolis to attend the event.
Not simply Kolkata, every district of West Bengal organized a grand rally to thank UNESCO. From ladies drummers of South 24 Parganas to religious and cultural businesses (Bauls) of Birbhum, all were existing for the duration of the event showcasing the tradition of West Bengal.
Both Mamata and Sourav Ganguly welcomed the UNESCO delegation.
