Siliguri, 02nd February: Saraswati Puja celebrations in Siliguri took a unique turn with a powerful message for women’s safety. In the Palpara Balasan Colony area under Matigara Police Station, a group of youth created a thought-provoking theme for the Puja this year.
As per reports, the traditional depiction of Goddess Saraswati with a veena and book featuring a shocking yet symbolic representation of a woman doctor’s body held in the goddess’s hands. The pavilion, designed to highlight the rising atrocities against women and the demand for justice, also displayed messages calling for an end to such crimes, strict punishment for the culprits involved in the R.G. Kar incident, and enhanced women’s security.
Through this powerful theme, the youth advocated for justice and women’s safety, urging society to take immediate action. The theme quickly drew attention and became one of the most talked-about events this festive season in Siliguri.
