Dhunuchi Dance at Durga Bhawan

The Maniktala Saha Family was originally Salt Merchants and had a huge Zamindari throughout Kolkata. The family originated from Allahabad. Durga Puja of this family is around 150 years.The white Coloured Huge house is located just at the junction of Vivekananda Road and Maniktala Street. It has a huge Thakurdalan inside.
Last year i went to this place with my friends, which turned into beautiful experience of Dhunuchi dance. This is the really entertaining "Dhunuchi" dance that is performed to the "Dhak's" beats (It is a type of dholak that you see in the background). The performer holds clay incense burners (which is pretty hot) with "dhuno" on their palms or even balance it on their heads. Celebration was legendary, and their house & courtyard is nicely architect. In short i can say, its a Celebration of Togetherness
