Regressive or Progressive? Kolkata Model's Outfit at Durga Puja Pandal Sparks Debate

Kolkata: A Kolkata model's choice of outfit has sparked outrage online. The woman was seen wearing a cleavage-baring crop top to a Durga Puja Pandal.

Hemoshree Bhadra, who has won the Miss Kolkata 2016 title has faced significant backlash for wearing "inappropriate" for a religious celebration.

Photos from the event went viral which featured the model with two other friends at a Durga Puja pandal in Kolkata.

While one girl was seen donning a long black gown with a thigh-high slit. The other was seen dressed in an orange minidress with knee-length boots.

All three outfits were called “indecent” and “vulgar” by netizens.

The picture was captioned "It was so Rebellious, we never thought it was possible, being a girl, we always knew our body is “BAD” but life is like that it gives new examples and experiences."

The post garnered significant attention online.

“I know that everyone has a right to dress however they want but isn’t it basic common sense to dress accordingly when you are visiting a temple,” a user wrote.

While another remarked " “No matter how modern or open-minded you are, even I don't like it or approve of clothing like this at sacred places like temples,”.
A person opined “Call me regressive but this is outright stupid,” wrote one X user.
