The four handed goddess is carried by the Lion everywhere, an Elephant lies at the feet of the Lion. She is seated on Lotus. The potter's technique of building the idol is commendable indeed. One of the main attractions of the Jagadhatri idol of Chandannagar is the ornamental decoration of the goddess with 'Sola' and the beautiful canvas of 'Mats' with 'Paintings'. The wonder of illumination is after all a primeval glory of Chandannagar.

A spontaneous universal merry making contributes to the success of the Jagadhatri Puja of Chandannagar. The formal difference between Durga and Jagadhatri occurs in Tantra Literatures. The ruling to perform the special puja of the goddess on the ninth lunar day of the light fortnight in the month 'Kartick' has been referred to 15 - 16th century. The Jagadhatri Puja at 'ChaulPotty' (Rice Market) in 'Loxmigonj' is probably the historic example of the ancient community Jagadhatri Puja.

Culture mirrors the truest reflection of the entity and identity of individuals as well as the society and the nation. The epithet "Unity in Diversity" finds best expression perhaps in the sphere of India's cultural front.

As far as Bengal is concerned, Chandannagar can very rightly take pride in its highly rich heritage and tradition of art and culture. The Jagadhatri Puja of Chandannagar bridges the past and the present.
