City pujo to pay tribute to theatre para this year

This year, Hatibagan Nabin Pally pays homage to the iconic Theatre Para of the place. After gaining fame as the Abol Tabol Para last year, the club is now bringing the history of Rajkrishna Street’s theatre scene to life. “We wanted to keep the para spirit alive," says Tarna Dutta Chowdhury, a member of Nabin Pally, adding, "So, we used the history of Hatibagan’s Theatre Para as our theme, decorating the pandal with posters inspired by the area’s theatrical legacy.”

Unlike last year’s professional actors, this time, the women of the club will perform live theatre in the evenings, portraying legendary figures like Notibinodini, Tripti Mitra, Tara Sundari Devi, and Ketuki Dutta. In the afternoon, they will dress as theatre posters, paying tribute to this rich art form.
