Only in Bengal: Bus Themed Durga Puja Surprises Netizens

Durga Puja and Kolkata are two sides of the same coin! Every year, Kolkata presents to the world some of the most innovative and novel themes in their Durga Puja celebration. 

But this year, the City of Joy decided to offer a special gift to bus fans around India — a Durga Puja pandal made out of an Ashok Leyland bus. 

Facebook user Souradeep Biswas posted pics of this super cool puja pandal in Saltlake AE block 1. The unique pandal housed an Ashok Leyland Viking bus that plied under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) scheme. 

You are in for more SURPRISE!! 

The background music was recorded from a South Bengal State Transport Corporation (SBSTC) Ashok Leyland Viking BS II bus, and features engine sound, horn, revving and braking sounds. 


Way to go Kolkata!
