If you are a foodie then ABP Ananda Khaibaar Pass in association with The Telegraph would have been nothing short of heaven for you. The food festival celebrated its 10th year with this edition from January 25 to 28 at Shyambazar Sarbajanin Durga Puja Prangan. When Khaibaar Pass began a decade back, it was to cover up for the lack of any other conglomeration of all the food items and outlets that are Kolkata’s favourite. This year, the day registered a footfall of approximately 40,000 people who poured in with family, friends and even alone. With 48 food stalls, 11 sponsor stalls and performances by Sreeradha Banerjee, Violin Bros, Kaya and Padma Kalash. Khaibaar Pass turned 10 in the biggest and most glorious way possible. The Telegraph gets you some glimpses of the fiesta...
