The tragic accident in Kolkata during this year’s Durga Puja has left us deeply saddened. No words can express the sorrow; we can only hope that such a tragedy never happens again.
Amidst this grief, the timeless traditions and spiritual essence of Durga Puja continue to live on in Kolkata’s historic Bonedi Baris. For BPIans, photographing these age-old celebrations is not just about capturing images, but also about experiencing and cherishing our rich cultural heritage.
As every year, BPIans have once again set out with their cameras to capture the beauty, devotion, and traditions of Bonedi Bari Durga Puja.

Celebrating Our Students’ International Achievement !!!

There is no greater joy for an institution than to see its students achieve and make their mark. And when their work reaches an international platform, the joy becomes even more special, meaningful, and truly a matter of immense pride.

We are delighted and deeply proud to share that the works of Mahua Sarkar, Manjistha Sen, Neha Sharma, Sayan Mondal, and Sagarika Dutta were recently exhibited at the Swarnadwipa International Photography Festival, Indonesia.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Bengal Photography Institute was the only institution from India to receive this wonderful opportunity. It is a proud moment not only for our students, but for the entire BPI family.

I feel particularly honoured and grateful to have been invited to serve as one of the curators of the exhibition.

Our heartfelt thanks to the organisers of the festival for creating this wonderful international platform and for recognising the work of our students. And to our five talented photographers — many, many congratulations! Your dedication, creativity, and passion have made us incredibly proud.

At Bengal Photography Institute, we believe that every student has a unique voice and a story to tell through photography. We wish all our students many more such opportunities, greater achievements, and continued growth as photographers.

May they keep seeing, creating, exploring, and inspiring — and may their photographs continue to take them to many more wonderful places around the world.

Heartiest congratulations to all! We are truly proud of you…

I never embraced photography with a destination in mind, nor did I begin with a carefully drawn roadmap of goals and achievements. I picked up the camera for one simple reason—it brings me joy.

Most of my photographs have been born not from rules or formulas, but from instinct, curiosity, and the freedom to see the world in my own way. I have never truly felt at ease creating images to fit the rigid expectations of competitions or salons, and that remains true even today. And yet, somehow, this incredible milestone found its way to me.

If there is one reason I can think of, it is this: the blessings of my elders, the guidance of every teacher who shaped my photographic journey, the unwavering support of my family, and the endless love and encouragement of my friends and well-wishers have carried me here.

This milestone is not mine alone—it belongs to everyone who has been a part of this journey.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for your faith, your love, and your constant encouragement.
