Kolkata is a colourful city in terms of everything and Bengalis just need one reason or another to celebrate. This fact of the region is and has been being glorified in various aspects of the print and cinematic media. The festive fervour is perhaps one of the many things that highlight Kolkata, making it a place one of its kind. The beautiful township is known for its many festivals which keep its residents busy throughout the year. The entire atmosphere is painted completely different during the festivals and there is a lot of commotion and rush all around.

To be exact those are Hindu deities idols each goddess are worshipped by different cultural groups, they do believe in One Supreme Power. This is because the peoples of India with many different languages and cultures have understood the one God in their own distinct way

Someone gave me this could you tell me who this is ?
Hanuman is a Hindu god, an ardent devotee of Rama. ... A vanara (one who lives in forest i.e. 'vana'), Hanuman participated in Rama's war against the demon king Ravana. Several texts also present him as an incarnation of Lord Shiva. He is the son of Vayu, who according to several stories, played a role in his birth.
