In Kolkata's Shobhabazar Rajbari Durga Puja, Goddess Durga is considered daughter of this royal family, hence her idol stays behind curtains, so that outsiders are not able to see the 'daughter's' face directly. The royal family's Puja was initiated by Maharaja Nabakrishna Deb in 1757 and is considered one of the oldest Durga Puja celebrations by aristocratic families in Kolkata.
