The entire rangoli sprawled across 1.5 km of the road and it was a part of the Samaj Sebi Sangha Durga Puja. As beautiful as this rangoli looks, there were a ton of people behind it. Almost 300 young artists came together and they were led by 15 group leader to manage the entire process. Most of the artists out of this number were students from some of the most esteemed art colleges of Kolkata, such as Government College of Art & Craft and Rabindra Bharati University. It took 24 hours for the artist to complete the masterpiece and it’s absolutely beautiful.
