Kolkata, Oct. 21 -- Chief minister Mamata Banerjee's Kalighat residence glowed in the golden hues of faith and festivity as the annual Kali Puja, a cherished family tradition spanning decades, brought together ministers, officials, cultural icons, and citizens in an atmosphere of devotion and warmth.
For Mamata Banerjee, the occasion was as much personal as spiritual - a reaffirmation of her belief that faith is a quiet source of strength and simplicity the truest expression of power.
"Faith has always been a guiding light that nurtures courage in moments of doubt and compassion in times of hardship," she shared earlier in the day, extending her wishes for peace, health, and happiness to every household in Bengal and across the nation.
