As the city gears up to celebrate Durga Puja in all its splendour, it is time once again for the CESC The Telegraph True Spirit Puja, perhaps the most prestigious competition for community Durga Pujas in the city. As we anticipate a close and exciting contest before the winners in various categories are announced on Shasthi (October 20), here’s a throwback to some special moments from the final round of judging by celebrity judges of last year’s CESC The Telegraph True Spirit Puja.

“Over the last 20 years, CESC The Telegraph True Spirit Puja has become a movement to reckon with. It is a movement which encapsulates integrity, compassion, and above all else, gives due importance to the safety aspects of all those who visit the Puja pandals. It is this very essence which resonates with the young and the aged and makes them feel at home,” said JoyneelMukherjee, executive director, RPSG Group.
