Kolkata tram captures Durga Puja spirit, sports special makeover
The city’s iconic tram service which turned 150 years old earlier this year will celebrate the spirit of Durga Puja with a specially painted tram depicting scenes from the moulding of the goddess idol to ‘Sindoor khela’, a ritual for married women on the last day of the puja.
The uniquely designed tram which will run between Ballygunge and Tollygunge in the city will start service from October 16 and will run till December 31. Besides celebrating the tramways’ 150th birthday, it will also commemorate the recent UNESCO tag for the state’s Durga Puja festivities.
