At the beginning of autumn, along with white flowers and cotton clouds, Pujo also arrives in Bengal. This festival is like a kaleidoscope where people from all walks of life come together to add their bits of colour to create a carnival which has achieved world-wide recognition. Durga Puja has been declared as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Asian Paints Sharad Shamman is a pioneer since 1985 in celebrating and honouring the best Pujo celebrations in respect of art, taste and culture. This year will be the 38th year of Sharad Shamman, a strong testament to Asian Paints legacy of four decades in Kolkata and West Bengal.
