Durga Puja by andycoleborn

Durga Puja

It's Durga Puja time, which for many Indians - and especially Bengali's like Sangeeta - is one of the pre-eminent festivals of the year.

It's a celebration lasting a few days so tonight we headed to Upton Park in East London to attend one of the festival's beginning events. A rather quiet affair although I understand the weekend events will be louder and more entertaining...

For Sangeeta, it's really just a chance to dress up a little, put on a saree and a bit of bling and catch up with old friends.

This isn't a technically good shot, but getting late and thought I'd just uplaod a pic SOOC tonight. We are off to a few more events over the next couple of days so will hope for some more interesting shots. More info here on Durga Puja if you are interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durga_Puja

As for work... BBC London news were filming at work so got to meet and photograph Alice Bhandhukravi... All in all, not a bad day...
Sounds like fun, and I love this photo!
