The Food Street or the food court at South City Mall has been decorated with traditional fabric elements of Bengal and Durga Puja — ‘gamchha’, laal-paar saris, and more. Yellow light bulbs, which were once used to decorate streets before tea lights and fairy lights made an entry, have been used to light up the space
Speaking to My Kolkata, Man Mohan Bagree, vice-president, South City Group, said the decor was focused on showcasing Bengal’s old and popular festive props, and the dominant red palette was chosen to symbolise Shakti. ‘We wanted the old look and feel of Durga Puja, which we would cherish a few generations back,’ he added
