Theme : Aranyak (The Unfolding Narrative)

The focus is the Sundarbans: the invincible men and women in the land of tides and tigers. Here, Bonbibi, the resident deity of the Sundarbans and protector of man and beast, is being invoked alongside Ma Durga. Photographs of tiger attack survivors and maps of places of tiger attacks reveal the struggles of the fishermen, honey collectors, crab catchers of the region as the elusive but powerful Royal Bengal Tiger roams the delta. Aranyak brings a sense of the beautiful as well as dreadful Sundarbans to the city.
