The occasion is to remember and celebrate Her and Her kids similar to how a daughter is welcomed back at her parent's house.

OUR IDOL AND THE JOURNEY
The Idol or the so called ‘Protima’ is more than just a Goddess to a Bengali resembling as a symbol of power, enigma, culture and heritage. Bengalis in every corner of the world are known for their art and culture, where Durga Puja being a perfect exemplary of that. The five days of celebration not only signifies festivity but a time where a person takes moments away from work devoting to family and friends, a time to unwind one’s troubles and rejoice in happiness, a time of hope and prosperity, a time for giving and sharing and more then ever restoring peace and tranquility. Keeping all these moments special and memorable, Trinayani came up with this unique idea of making its first ever in-house idol. The journey of this ideation emerged from few of our Trinayani members collaborating together and creating this spectacular form of art. They decided to give this idea an image which was inspired by Jamini Roy style of art. Following the footsteps of this art form an idea led to creativity. A chain reaction was instigated and within few months a team of creative people joined hands to make it a reality. It took three and half months to make this idol with every resources that was available. Many helped in assembling the Protima with wooden frames that gave the idol a grandiose look. With all the lights, costumes, designs, paints and dazzle, slowly 'Devi' (Protima) came to life.
As the days neared to the celebrations, more and more people volunteering in this endeavor became an integral part of this team. Trinayani slowly took its shape in this process of making the idol and connecting everyone with new strings. It was a glimpse of our connection, how we all were brought up in our native land. Within a few months every member of the group transformed from a dreamer to a believer and made everyone believe the same: “Where Festivity Meets Cultural Needs”.
NEWS FLASH: Winning third place among 25 durga pujas in the year 2022.
