Tala Prattoy has to be possibly the most maverick Puja installation ever launched in Kolkata. Curator Susanta Paul has not taken his money and left; he has taken temporary residence inside the installation and exposed himself to public display. The result is that all those coming to see the Tala Prattoy Puja (TPP) will watch the protima with one eye and a sleeping Susanta on his four-poster bed — with an obese paashbaalish — with the other. They could be looking at the 80-foot chandelier installation with one eye and examining his roll-up study desk with the other. There is Susanta’s personal lounge with wrought iron garden furniture (“chaa-taa khaowar jonnye”), his 700-sq-ft washroom and his library — books on management, religion, architecture, films and history — with pictures of the great Tagore, and Rituporno Ghosh.
