Illustrated collage of Kolkata Durga Puja culture around a Durga idol

A white background with watercolour sky-blue washes and the river under twin cantilever bridges on either side. At the centre is a hand-drawn, richly coloured Durga idol in a pink-edged arch, surrounded by a dhaki, women in red-bordered white saris smearing vermilion, a hand-pulled rickshaw, a yellow tram painted with goddess eyes, a colonial domed memorial, a red-yellow bus and street-food vendors. The ink linework has flat bright fills in red, yellow, teal and orange, and a folk-pattern border runs along the top edge.

Layout

A huge red Bengali headline runs across the full-width top band. Below it, a vertical cascading collage of city icons flows from the Durga idol at the top centre down to street food at the bottom, with small serif captions placed at the left and right margins beside the vignettes they describe.

Typography

Heavy red Bengali display lettering with a thin yellow outline; small maroon classic serif captions
