The sound of dhaak and the smell of the dhuno. What more can you ask for? It was a breathtaking atmosphere at the pandal at Manicktala Chaltabagan Lohapatty on Wednesday where celebs made the right noises by turning dhaakis for a while. Even Governor MK Narayanan joined in the festivities with an impromptu go at the dhaak! “He had come to kick off the dhaak festival and seemed most excited about it.
He picked up the sticks and started playing the dhaak. We couldn’t resist and joined in too,” laughed DJ Akash.
Tolly hotties
Debleena Dutt and
Locket Chatterjee broke into a jig and stunned those who had gathered as they picked up the dhunuchi. Said Sundeep Bhutoria, chairman of the puja committee, “We have always given emphasis on social and cultural activities. While our social activities continue throughout the year, what better way to connect to the Puja than kickstart it with a dhaak festival?”
The event came to an end with everybody joining in to sing Amader Durgapuja, written and composed by DJ Akash.
