Hoimantika Somman
Hoimantika Somman
The Amie Srestho Hoimantika Somman is a prestigious award that has been celebrating creativity and craftsmanship during Jagadhatri Puja in Chandannagar since 2016. It is one of the most significant awards given to the best pandals across the city, recognizing excellence in various aspects such as decoration, theme, and artistry.
The awards have contributed to a shift in how Jagadhatri Puja is celebrated in Chandannagar, Mankundu and Bhadreswar, emphasizing artistic and cultural innovation in the creation of pandals and idols. The initiative has not only become an integral part of Chandannagar’s Jagadhatri Puja traditions but also reflects the evolving cultural landscape of the festival. Each year, the awards are judged by a panel of eminent personalities from various fields such as art, literature, and cinema. Winners receive a unique statuette, which has evolved in design over the years, symbolizing the honor and prestige of the award.
In this year, the Hoimantika Somman continues to uphold its legacy, with pandals across Chandannagar striving to win in categories like Best Puja, Creative Excellence, and Best Artisan, among others
