A story of Durga Puja in Brisbane

JOUR1111: Factual Storytelling Exercise

Here is a video I made, depicting the greatest Bengali festival – Durga Puja. This festival celebrates Durga’s victory of defeating the demon and restoring balance to the world. This year, Durga puja was celebrated at Aspley state school from 30^th September to 2^nd October .

The images from first half of the video are from international sources (cited below), but the rest were taken by me last week.

I hope you enjoy the video and feel the happiness that we experienced on this joyous occasion.  

The photographs of the Durga Puja in Brisbane were taken by me,
