Kolkata, College Square Durga Puja for couples: sunset and golden hour by date

At blue hour on College Square, a whole pandal of light lies down in the pool, and half of Kolkata crowds in to watch it.

In the reel: A couple in a white kurta and red saree sit with their backs to us on the stone steps of the College Square tank, facing the lit Durga Puja pandal and its reflection among diyas and night crowds.

The place is real. The College Square Sarbojanin pandal goes up each year beside the College Square Swimming Pool in Vidyasagar Udyan, on College Street, and its lights in the water are the puja's trademark. The pool is fenced and visitors follow a queue route, so plan to stand at the railing rather than sit on the steps at the water. The floating diyas, the clock tower and the stars are the drawing's own.
