Artists in Kolkata made around one-kilometer long 'Rangoli', a mural made of coloured powders or flowers, to mark the nine-day-long festival of 'Durga Puja'. Residents of the city woke up to a 1.5-km long 'alpna' "a form of Bengali floor art" on Lake Road, touted to be the longest 'alpna' ever made. The floor art is a joint venture of a regional committee and leading fashion retail store Pantaloons to celebrate the festival in a unique way. According to local media reports, more than 300 students of Government Art College created the 'alpna' in less than 24 hours.
