The Durga Puja pandal in Kolkata on October 11, 2024, ignited a social media controversy when models donned “rebellious” outfits during the celebrations. The traditional religious event took an unconventional turn with models wearing bold attire that many felt was inappropriate for the cultural occasion.
Social media platforms were flooded with reactions, as some praised the creativity, while others criticized it as disrespectful to religious sentiments. The organizers defended their artistic expression, stating that they aimed to blend modernity with tradition. The incident has once again raised the debate over the line between artistic freedom and cultural respect.
