  1. Good services provided by the radio channels. Durga puja is a festive occasion for widespread celebration for people in Kolkata and the rest of West Bengal. You can celebrate the occasion by sending free online Durga puja ecards from ecard4all.com. Sending an ecard is as simple as the click of a mouse.
