Dear ChotoCheeta Team,
Please accept my thanks from a very far eastern part of the globe. I am in Canberra now, perfectly aware that the puja is round the corner but nothing to do other than moving through the sites to have a taste of the golden days of my past. I found your site a pretty good one to enjoy the puja of my home country, especially the city of Calcutta once again.
Regards,
