Shera Para Shera Pujo provides a platform for us to deepen the brand’s connect with the people. This year, we have gone a step further with a drive to encourage reduction of single use plastic in West Bengal. Driven by our commitment to transforming lives through healthy home paints, this year’s Shera Para Shera Pujo is our way of saying “Esho Gorhi Nobo Bongo”.”
He further added, “This year, our Mural Painting competition encourages pandals to create murals on their vision of a new Bengal. The challenge will be to bring out the artist’s imagination and zeal whereby they create a wall mural with a painting depicting a New Plastic – Biheen Bengal.”
