Kolkata's Barowari Durga Pujo celebrations spark a cultural and civic debate over whether street-occupying pandals could ever face legal or administrative restrictions in modern India. This video also pulls back the curtain on the largely unknown role of an Intimacy Coordinator in film production — the professional responsible for ensuring safety, consent, and choreography during romantic and kissing scenes between actors on set. Together, these two stories explore the tension between tradition and regulation, and between creative freedom and professional boundaries. From the devotion and colour of Bengal's most iconic community festival to the carefully managed dynamics behind the camera in Indian cinema, this is a thoughtful look at how culture, consent, and urban life intersect in contemporary India. #DurgaPujo #KolkataFestival #IntimacyCoordinator #IndianCinema #IndianCulture #Lykstage #LykstageVideo #LykstageCreator #LykstageCommunity
