The design,structure and theme of the pandals changes every year.Right after the puja ends, they start planning for the next year
idk How do I react . Should I be enthusiastic or Be laughing lol?
@@omprakashbillore5324do both
@@debadritamondal8646 to do both at same time .. Probably Means
Crying . Right ? xD
@@omprakashbillore5324 nope 😇
Yeah ❤️
" Aschhe Bochhor Abar Hobe"
( The year is coming, that will happen again)
30:05 If security guards won't whistle, it'll take 2-3 hours for people to reach the Pandal and the crowd will be out of control. Yes it can be annoying when they're forcing you to move ahead but it's necessary due to the amount of people visiting.
They understand that dude
@@lavie7358 C. Sofia yes but I'm not sure if Jaby does.
this feels very hectic for others but for us bengalis, just like she said its like a fomo, people go to gyms and prepare themselves for atleast a month..both mentally and physically. its like a vacation for us after a year of work , and we han out with friends and family for a long and energetic time
Very rich culture in bengal
Plz preserve your rich culture
ekdm bhai
Exactly
Bhaii ♥️
We Indians find peace in chaos !! Ots our damn life 😂
Agreed... 😂😂😂
Cant agree more 😅
Its**
Life in India has a lot of bhasad baji, but then there is this celebratory chaos which keeps you going in life. Once you move overseas that's what you miss the most. So many festivals all over the country.
Well that choas comes once in a year , and we wait whole year to feel that chaos 🤣🤣
23:41 when they said "bolo durga ma ki jay" i have tears in my eyes.. We bengalis have lot's of emotions about Durga Puja. We have to say good bye at Dashami. It's painful but we are keep waiting for next year..❤️
একদম 😔
Same here. My eyes were teary during the end 😭
Hmm.. it's impossible to stop tears rolling down on Dashami..
Maa go,
abar eso tumi,
fire bare bare,
Bochor bochor chirotore,
Tomar oporup roope moder,
Mugdho koro jibonvore..
Joy Maa
They saying pandal pendel
Jaya Maa Durga❤️
Durga ma is mother of goddess to Hindus. Now you can understand why people go crazy and where the emotions come from. And bengalis celebrate this puja every year with new pandals. The art is absolutely beautiful. If you want to experience this, you have to come kolkata on Durga puja season. This year Durga puja ended on 16th October. The celebration is going on through 1 week.
The peace he was talking about is a positive feeling kind of religious thing 😅
Kind of soothing or satisfying of some sort, is what they meant
Erik Chromium exactly.
And that's not from 'Prem ratan dhan payo ' set, that's a replica of World's largest Vedic temple also in West Bengal , Nodia district.
It's Iskcon temple in mayapur!!
yes felt very angry when they said that
Nothing would have happened if the guy had fallen, while tying his shoes....this is India....people from the crowd would have helped him....would have taken him a safe place, may offered him some first aid, water or even tea....its very normal in India....
What do you expect from Non-Bengali. They ignore us and will continue doing that 😒
@@icebear116 we need to stop give attention these hindi people,what south indians are doing we also need to do that
@20:36 when he was mentioning about "peace", maybe what he actually meant was by looking at goddess durga he felt inner peace in the previous pandals. But that specific pandal was too noisy, or maybe more crowdy than the previous pandals. For us Indians, Durga puja is a huge celebration, filled with enjoyment and lots of people. ☺ Its never meant to be quiet in the first place. If it's quiet then it just doesnot feel like durga puja.
Exactly
Actually it's not about worth it or not but it's basically about the feeling and belief ❤️
NOT ABOUT THE BELIEF
BECAUSE I AM A MUSLIM AND WE ENJOY EVERY DURGO PUJO
Not about the belief too
@@tricksexplorer1930 agreed
@@tricksexplorer1930 Your belief is in being a Bengali. 💜
@@newsjunkieish yeah🥰🥰
14:58 Yes Carolina, new pandals with new themes are made every year....
I was missing Achara in this reaction she would have given a great reaction throughout the video 🥺🥺I love to watch yours and achara's reactions together 😍😍
Yeah... I missed Achara so much..... This girl was yawning continuously ...🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 I felt offended...
@@user091vsjshgs yes felt same 🙃
Vodromohila 😤😄
Yes this girl has no interest in the video. Did she sit there for money?
@@SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi jaby paid her to do the reaction obviously
Carolina is being so careful. We love the disclaimers lol
Yeah i was like chill girl.
We are not that mad... yoo😂😂
@@bigk2367 we are that mad lol. We get triggered by ads. So jaby probably told her before the video that it's religious so u gotta be careful otherwise indian people will come at you.
@@jatinsharma2787 as an Bengali I can say I'll come at you if Durga Puja Is on the table . No holding back from my part .
U can't even imagine the hype and celebration. Come to West Bengal during Durga Puja..❤️
Ha bhai yeh lok samaj nhi payenge 🤣
Ki thick bollam na 🤣
Just like Durga Puja, Christmas too is one of the most celebrated festivals in Kolkata (Park Street). It's definitely not as as massive as the Durga Puja celebration, but it too has its own vibe, energy and beauty. ❤️
Likewise, Eid as well .. 😊
Yes❤️
Durga Pujo in Kolkata is nothing like anything else in the world. You can only understand it by witnessing it here. It's holy, spiritual, beautiful, and fun at the same time. When devotion mixes with art and emotion, Durgapujo happens.
One thing I must mention is that all the pandals are perfectly hand made.. for months.. and the theme of each pandal can absolutely blow your mind off. Also during this time people walks miles after miles from one pandal to another days and nights. The roads are narrowed down to make side tracks for people to walk. You can see people of all age groups walking and visiting pandals. Its a beautiful positive energy in the aura of the city during that time. And you can sense the absolute energy once you land the city. Its breath taking. Like last year I walked, around 13 kms each day for 4 days straight 🤣 god, I dont walk that much in a month 🤣🤣.
Devi Durga for us Bengalis is our mother and daughter at the same time. The emotion behind that cannot be explained to people who are not Bengalis tbh. There isn't a single dry eye around on Dashami. Even just the sound of Dhaak is extremely emotional.
You are right. It's like Goddess Durga is a much-loved family member who visit twice a year -- once in spring for Basanti puja. I used to feel so sad Navami onwards because I knew it was time for Her to leave with her children.
Come to kolkata jaby during Durga Puja,then you will experience the level of creativity, energy,fun here which can't be matched with anything.
Glad you reacted to this video
Seeing and experiencing is different, tourist see, devotees experience the process of spirituality. With experiencing, physical energy never matters, and of course mentally you grow calm and rejuvenated in company of MAA
Exactly
Hands down the biggest festival in the world. The number of people and chaos cannot be compared to anything. Art, festival, food, travel perfect mix
I feel so lucky to live in Bengal
Bengal is a culture rich state
Yes for sure. But sadly it's being destroyed gradually by us being way too forward & modern & carefree & secular.
We feel proud as Bengalis, but also we don't seem to carry our culture by any good means. I really feel the essence missing from our community day by day.
@@asg1183 because nobody is there to teach our culture to new generation, parents should do that. New generation are adapting western culture and sickularism is destroying our native culture and religion.
true
@@adish7839 There are the teaching of Swami Vivekananda, Ramkrishna Paramhansa. But sad thing is in our education system we don't reed those great souls.
Carolina is so worried about doing something wrong. It's cute😂 She's Puerto Rican?
It is not cute..it is so sad
Uniter🔥
Uniterrr.. Finally oh God..
@@direnbhatsavesoil9628 Yaass! Indian Uniters are increasing!!
19:15 CAROLINA SOFIA didn't enjoy it at all look at her she is ready to sleep😂
Like she was literally seeing 20 crore worth of gold in form of 13 feet idol and she's yawning...🤦🤦
Crowd praying and "darshan" IS NOT IRRITATING. IT'S a different energy, and a pleasurable outcome of having Hindu beliefs
Hey Jaby, thanks for reacting to this. I'm from Kolkata but now living in the States. Its been almost 7 years that I've not seen Durga Puja. This reminded me of all the places that I used to go for panda hopping. Let me know if you want to know more about Durga Puja, the culture and its importance for the people of Kolkata.
Fun Fact: A friend of mine met Akshay when they were making the video. I was so jealous.
You should visit Kolkata during Puja.. It starts from October with Durga Puja and end with New Year eve.. You will find different kinda fun in each festival here.
Technically, you’re not allowed to fully immerse the Idol in the River Ganga nowadays.
I feel like Carolina was really careful with this one. Us Indians get triggered by everything, especially if it's religious. So she had every right to do so. No one wants to get death or rape threats.
@Bhavya Gala no it's not like that he is overreacting
What the hell dude?
Bengalis don't react like that. They may get triggered and correct you, or argue
Every year the architecture of the pandals changes. New year, new pandals
9:18 You're not thinking wrong actually. It looks like gyro but way better... Gyros base is pita bread which can be used fresh as well as after few days. And inside you can put anything, chicken, mutton, etc etc... But here, it's mutton roll... Huge difference between pita bread and freshly made delicious paratha. Obviously, not healthy if you eat everyday but 2-3 rolls a week is must for me. And the mutton inside, believe me, little chunks, juicy & tender, with onion, sauce or ketchup, chilli sauce, ending with mayonnaise... Uff, literally I a took a sip of saliva inside😄😋... The parathas they make is so delicious that you can eat 2-3 hot ones, just plain, even without any substitute...
And Jaby, I don't know if you can get the same taste in LA but yes , easy way is to search for "Kolkata Kathi Roll"... There I think you'll get close to what's shown here... Otherwise simply contact a Bengali person, he'll show you the destination 🙂...
Enjoy
I think u have lot of time
@@ritasingh2968 so do you🗿
@@ritasingh2968 well yes I do... That's why I chose a career that's gives me enough time to have lunch and watch videos and comment on it... Moreover am a foodie and a traveller. Sharing is caring Girl. Try sometimes. It's the experiences you will cherish. Bet you won't forget me for a week now... 🕺
@@averageperson7375 🤣🤣😂🤣
2-3 rolls a week??.....u must be working out 10 hours a day...lmao cause those things really take a toll on u
Watching durga ma at such a huge scale is phenomenal. Yeah the celebration is huge at Kolkata. ❤️
It is hectic but when you see the Goddess Durga (Mother of nature and Cosmos) all tiredness just go away and you got filled with positive energy and blissfulness and blessing of Maa Durga.
The colored sand thing you're talking about is Rangoli, which btw I'm making tonight for Diwali. At the end of the day we just vaccum it. Even tho it takes over 4 hours (for me atleast).
Me too. Happy Diwalii btw. ❤❤
@@Paint_the_sky_yours Happy Diwali samayra ✨🎉
I'm a bengali.. This is our biggest festival & I just wanna say you can't feel the energy,excitement, passion untill you come here...Visit kolkata during Durga puja once & you'll fall in love with this city ❤️
Jaby almost every pandal takes 5-6 months to complete👈👈
Lots of love from Kolkata, India 🇮🇳
And for us Durgapuja is not a celebration only it's our emotion....we wait the whole year to celebrate this festival....❤
Thanks jabi u reacted our Durgapuja. I been those pandales in 2019 . It was 2019 puja . Love from kolkata , West Bengal.
You and your team should come to Kolkata in this Durga Puja... And you can feel the real vibe of Durga Puja, the energy of this festival, the magical celebration of bangalis...
In Diwali jaby celebrate durga Puja Waaaw jaby 😂
Lots of love from Kolkata, India. I urge both of you to visit Kolkata during Durga Pujo and experience the vibes all by yourselves. 😊❣️
Tikte parbe na bhai, goromei gole jabe😂
bengali here❤️... i visited kolkata for durga puja in 2015...the finest durga puja in india 🙏
I'm from West Bengal Durga Puja is blessing for us
"আসছে বছর আবার হবে" (Aaschhe Bochhor aabaar hobe), the phrase which the two guys said at the end of the video (27:06) in Bengali actually means "Next year we will celebrate again".
"Bolo Durga Mai ki Jay"( All hail Goddess Durga). ❤️
It's a tradition and the energy of the pandals and the streets makes everything worth it!
I've been to Kolkata during Durga Puja, and trust me, any video out their can't justify the phenomenon. It's just massive, just that enchanting.
There are several Pandals with so much creativity and hardworks.
Christmas in Calcutta is quite fun too!
Yessss
@AMMA Indeed
J
muharram ???
Park Street ❤️
I am from Kolkata and Durga Puja is the best and now Kali Puja which occurs besides diwali is also awesome I am Non Bengali but I love Bengal its very liberalised and freedom full❤️❤️ Love you Jaby ❤️ God bless you.
15:02 they make different theme, different pandel every year.
Pandel from one year is completely different from past years.. ❤️
Definitely worth it, the feeling and essence of being with all that emotion, culture and memories is unparalleled to the chaos which obviously someone who hasn't experience it won't understand, and that makes sense.
Yall reacting to ok tested now??? Wowwww I’m so proud of my fav ok tested ❤️
Love it atlast jaby react to durga puja celebration.
Everyone is allowed to see the murti but only each association has members who are allowed to go closer and sit and enjoy their time in the pandal. They aren't in the crowed. Every pandal is of a different association and each association is funded by the members. So, the North Kolkata one is funded by members who are jewllers. Puja is celebrated in nearly every city. Like I live in Ahemdabad,Gujrat and the association here is nearly 120 years old. Similarly I've been in Indore and Bhvaneshwar where the association are nearly 100 year old
Seriously.....Oh my God when we used to come home from school during some days before the Durga Puja starts , we used to see Pandals beings made all over, wherever our eyes went a pandal would be there. That feeling is what cannot be described in words. In Durga Puja, even if we do Pandal hopping all over night still we used to be energetic. That feeling is what only Bengalis can understand and other Indians to some extent. We eagerly wait for next Durga Puja from Dashami only 😍😍🎉🎉
Im from odisha.i ve visited kolkata during durga Puja 3 times.its amazing to see different creativity of pandal.all pandal are different and unique.🙏
Waiting for this video ❤️❤️✌️
Jaby sir and achara mam you both are very cute 😍. Love from INDIA ❤️

@@shantanuranjan5462 bro check again please. Only in covid situation I can list 6 significant discoveries made by Bengalis. Apart from that every year Bengalis win more than 50% of swarup bhatnagar awards. I can go on with the list. Only in October 2021 the awards and recognitions won by Bengali researchers scientists and investors are massive. Also off the world's top 0.33% researchers most of the Indians are from Jadavpur University.

Happy Diwali🕯 jaby and achara ❣️
Trust me Jaby even though I have lived my entire life till now in Kolkata the crowd of Durga Puja is still horrifying ppl actually get trampled over and die in these crowds even this year there were many deaths specially in the Pandel where they made the super tall Burj Khalifa. Even though I have almost destroyed ur hopes of going there I would still say you should come here the next time you visit India because apart from the crowd trust me this is a very wonderful festival!!!!
Today and tommorw in ayodhya will look like heaven Happy diwali
Every year new pandals and different and unique one..& they have high budget though,with making, ornaments,pandal, decoration,gold and diamond.but some jewellery shop also share some gold for blessing
carolina is so cute we need more reaction jabey and carolina
Come to Kolkata during Durga puja... Kolkata is ready for a jaby vlog
The last segment of this video was filmed in a Old Palace called 'Shovabazar Rajbari', palace of a feudal lord and he started this puja on 1757 to celebrate the victory of British East India company over the last sovereign Nawab of Bengal Siraz Ud- doullah... This specific durga puja is the heritage. At the end of 2021, UNESCO acknowledged Kolkata's Durga Puja as 'World Cultural Heritage' amd Kolkata Durga Pujo is the world's biggest installed art festival. This is the first and only festival of India to get the tag by UNESCO.
Right after the festival ends they start planning for the next year
Recently Kolkata's Durga puja gets an honour of World heritage from "UNESCO"
This is the earliest I’ve come to a video on this channel lol
My uncle is a pandal architect and also an artist. He won the best pandal maker award for 3 consecutive years.
Jaby reacting to my culture ❤❤😍😍
Watching this, sitting 10000 miles away , realizing I will miss this madness for another 1-2-3-4 years or I don't know , damn I feel sad. I was always the stay at home guy and not much of a crowd lover but this madness makes me yearn for home.
Same
I am from Kolkata guys but I live in Canada... Feeling so good watching something related to my city on your channel
The crowd, the stuffiness, the jostling, the walking endless kilometers, the tiredness... Everything is worth it to visit pandals during Durga Puja in Kolkata!
Durga Puja is the largest Cultural , Art exhibition in the world across the whole city of Kolkata, Millions and billions of dollars are spent overall . Its a must festival to visit.
I'm an Bengali really proud of our own culture ❤️❤️ u should experience once in life this durga puja🙏🙏❤️
I am from Kolkata,and watching you see this experience is making me so happy 😄😄😄
Seems Carolina is exhausted 🤣
Edit: 27:38 see, jaby felt the same 😂
.....it's all about energy 😁
Nice channel , loved your reaction...
If it's hard to believe how they achieve building it, let me say it's devotion, devotion is like the driving force to reach anything and it is this devotion to the goddess that helps.
Happy diwali bhai log❤️❤️🙏🙏 jai maa Durga🙏
Happy dipawali to you jaby and achara , in (advance) 😂 surely watch the story about dipawali okay
Hey Jaby big fan brother.....love from Kolkata, India
Thanks for made a video on Durga Pujo 🥰 , i asked for it during the pujo 🙏 so it is late but its ok because another Festival in front of us Diwali 🎉
But this time no firecrackers 💥
I m watching your channel from that time when you have 34k subscribers.....but now you have million ....wow ...congratulation .....❤️❤️☺️...
It changes every year for every Puja Committee and there are hundreds of thousands of such Puja committees all over the eastern state of India - West Bengal and Kolkata - the Capital city of the state is the centre of attraction which alone hosts thousands of such Pujos & Pandals.
Every budget of pandals ranges from 5cr - 50cr
they make it different and new every year😇😇🥰🥰
You should come to kolkata to feel the vibe, celebrate with us and enjoy Durga pujo. I would really love to see the reaction of Achara. I want to see hee reaction too. You guys should come next year october. To experience this festival.
Happy diwali jaby bhaiya🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Most big things in this world would have started from a group being antagonised. The famous Thrissur Pooram also started after another Pooram group which was the main one at that time did not allow this antagonised group to participate as they were late due to rains/floods. Now Thrissur pooram is huge and known world wide whilst not even many Keralites know about Arattupuzha Pooram.
Well as much as everyone would like to admire and soak in the whole experience... You have to move as well.. Hundreds of people are in the line behind you waiting to get a glimpse of Durga maa just like you.
Pujo is not only a festival it's the Emotion of every single Bengali ❤
nice reaction bro and thx for your view. really nice
I don't know but this was the same year i too visited all these pandals in kolkata ❤. There are even so many pandal which were not in the vlog all of these deserve to be in here
Happy diwali jaby
