These interviews were taken on account of their participation during , a month long celebration of birds for children, in November 2025.

The curtain raising Open Day for Jolabhumi Utsav 2026 was magical.

Here's an album from yesterday, a feeble attempt to capture some of the magic that happened.

1 -> Children participate in bird games, identify the Silhouette & match the bird to its habitat.

2 -> A small part of the installations of the various life forms found in the East Kolkata Wetlands.

3 -> Three people actively sketched their observations from the day. This is a quiet moment where a child takes a look at one of the works in progress.

4 -> One of our young participants, tries her hand at painting a tailorbird with natural pigments extracted from the wetlands. This table drew in experts and novices alike.

5 -> Children queue for a traditional meal.

6 -> The Jhumur music team, led by the veteran singer Kalpana Mahato.

7 -> The Jhumur dance team got in on the action inspiring others to join in soon after.

8 -> Some group photos are more special than others. The masters of puppets (top), sing about saving the wetlands to save the ones living within, to end the puppet show. The entire group (bottom), jubilant, radiant and one single unit.
