Berger Priyo Pujo

About the contest

It’s that time of the year when the city of Kolkata vibrates to the beat of dhaks, the chanting mantras and the sweet aroma of the burning incense. Nature too joins in the celebration with sunny weather and white cotton clouds floating in the clear blue sky. The sound, smells and the vibe in the air suddenly comes together to tell you the biggest festival of Bengal, Durga Pujo has arrived.

Amidst all the fun and festivities of Durga Puja, it’s also time for one of Kolkata’s biggest extravaganzas – Berger Priyo Pujo 2017. This year is particularly significant as it marks the fifth year of the Berger Priyo Pujo celebrations. This year too Berger Priyo Pujo is featuring some of the best ‘priyo pujos’ of Kolkata in two categories: Berger Priyo Pujo, which essentially highlights the ‘para pujos’ and Berger Priyo Abashan Pujo which features some of the unique pujos celebrated in the gated communities of Kolkata.

This year the voting process will be through three secured platforms – (i) IVR based calling (ii) website based and (iii) Berger Priyo Pujo mobile APP based.

Berger Priyo Pujo is a unique contest where every citizen gets a chance to vote for the pujo that is ‘priyo’ to him/her. There can be many reasons to select and vote for a particular pujo as your favourite – it could mean bringing back childhood memories of pandal hopping with friends, enjoy eating bhog or even organising your own para pujo for a long time. Your vote will decide this year’s city’s Top 10 Berger Priyo Pujos and Top 3 Berger Priyo Abashan Pujos vying for the Bumper Prize. Additionally this year 5 Pujos from either category will be selected for Public Choice Award.

Call or log on to www.bergerpriyopujo.com to vote.

So, go on and vote for your Priyo Pujo.
