The way your son looks mesmerised everytime he looks at Ma Durga, I am sure her blessings and protection are with him forever. Greta take on experiencing the rural style "Sabeki Durga Pujo" as well.
Hi Steph, I am a Brit with my extended family living in kolkata and came upon your channel by accident recently, and I have been bingeing your travel videos. You have one of the most appealing personalities I have come across on TH-cam and I love how you appreciate new cultures. Hayes is adorable too. ❤
The more I see your video, The more i fell in love with India....what an amazing way to represent indian culture than others always criticizing and hating india !!
Hayes is such a sweet kid!! Happy Birthday and many many happy returns of the day!! 🎉🎂❤👏 Loved the grin and embarrassment on his face when the birthday cake was on the table 😍
The musical instrument is called *Aktara* because they have a single string. There are some similar instrument very rare contemporarily called Dotara , because they have duel (2) strings. Keep smiling remain blessed ❤
Thank you Steph & Pete for presenting the lovely vedio of rural life of West Bengal. I am so much proud as bengali of West Bengal. My native village is in place called Bishnupur lovely place one of the famous district of West Bengal. The place is famous for old temples with typical terracotta works and the various models made of mixed metal, mainly brass called "Dokra". Once again thanks to you and your family for visiting West bengal. Lots of love 👋
I'm glad that you came out of Kolkata and explored the real beauty of West Bengal. You can visit the Himalayas in the north Darjeeling (Queen of Hill's) or beaches in the south Digha at the bay of Bengal.
I am glad you liked my city, my state. Your video touched the core of traditional values, unlike other travel videos. There is many more you missed. But there is always a next time. Finally, your son is a darling. ❤
"Banglar mukh ami dekhiachi tai ami prithibir rup khujite jai na ar"... Jibanananda Das unfortunately Bengal isnt what it used to be, people arent the same anymore even in villages, demographics have changed a lot, govt hasnt done anything for the people, but still you can see some beauty of the region even now, as per the literature, anecdotes of elders, imagery...there isnt a sweeter and enriching place in this world...there isnt more fertile soils and freshwater bodies anywhere, there isnt anywhere where people are more emotional and down to earth and loving there isnt just a simpler and spiritual place anywhere...many youths wouldnt understand the significance of these words i know because it isnt what it used to be! Bengal is mother, mother loves and nourishes children like you do for your child, we share similar sentiments for our motherland Bengal, regards
Thank you very much for presenting the heritage, culture of Bengal to the whole world. The kid is enjoying the best moment of his life. And how beautiful is a kid blending in with everyone and becoming one of them. Your education and culture are reflected in him.
There's so much JOY in this video!! The colors are incredible, the community lively and welcoming, and overall an interesting place that we would like to visit. "The priority is the communities" :) Thank you for sharing!
i really appreciate inspite of many inconveniences and difficulties u guys might be facing ... u still keep an open mind and try to soak in the way of living of people and life as it comes ....take care stay safe and keep exploring the beauty of my beloved Motherland
The world is cosmic center of cultural chaos.... On one side we celebrate Durga puja at Nashville, Tennessee whereas on the other side we have local americans visiting a remote gram (village) in West bengal to witness Durga Puja ...what a wonderful thing !!!

Food really is the ultimate meltdown cure 👏HAHA we seem to have our wipes when we don't need them, but when we need them they aren't in the bag 😅 Happy Birthday, Hays! Awesome, video!! Seeing all these different villages was amazing, and loved all of Hays' input 😍
Nice to see your son enjoying out there.... In case of Bengal you can actually feel 6 seasons .... Go to Dooars and stay at the tea garden... Furthermore let the winter sets in then you can go to Sunderban......
Being a Bengali and a traveler, your story telling felt like a dida's home cooked meal. You are passionate about these and it shows. Thank you so much. Keep going guys.
Happy Birthday to the little soul 🎉🥳 may God bless him and both of you. Traveling places and sharing untold stories are not that much interesting in fron of that kid, throughout the video he is chirping like a little bird ❤❤❤❤ that's best. He is so sweet almost everytime busy holding Lego and talking sweetly, i can see my son's childhood in him. Thank you for sharing your son's reaction with us, thats precious.
It shows that you are traveling because you are loving it..not for money or content to post. I like your simplicity and honesty. Hope you are having good experiences in my State.
*_FINALLY !! FINALLY!_* 😮😮😮😮 Finally Western travellers who are *knowledgeable, educated, and do their homework* for travelling to India AND, not some il literate TH-camr passing *rage-bait judgments.*
Happy Birthday 🎂 Lil one . We don't call them rickshaw we call it Toto , actually it's called E-Rickshaw .Rabindranath is big for India specially for Bengali. He wrote the national anthems of India and Bangladesh, first person from Asia to receive a Nobel prize. Also his family is very influential for Indians.
Next Time when if come to West Bengal come to Kalimpong, I have a little beautiful place to stay there you can explore real Hill Villages in the lap of nature
I'm off to Kolkata with my Indian fiancée [she's from Bengaluru] in exactly a month - so great timing for this video! Looks fantastic and can't wait to get to India.
Oh nice!! Thanks for watching. Next week's video is eating as much street food as we can all around the city so hopefully that one can be useful to you as well. Then the following week we'll have one dedicated to the Ballygunge neighborhood. Will this be your first time to India???
Thank yu for visiting Santiniketan instead of any other cities. Its a place where you got what you went searching. Thank you once again for choosing India and West bengal.
Come to Southern part of India, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka, tamilnadu, Kerala,goa they r amazing with traditions, culture and heritage and tropical ❤with different healthy cuisines for different states
Please come to visit at Tamluk (District-East Midnapore, state-West Bengal) in India for 2 nights during Diwali 🪔. Celebration done like Durga Puja in Kolkata. Although it’s a very small town. But you can see almost 50 pandals in 15 sq. Km area during Kali puja (Diwali time).
Lost Wax Technique is very ancient. It was developed by the people of Indus Valley Civilization in 3000- 2000 BC and is still being practised by tribes in Bastar, Odisha and West Bengal. The figurines that you saw also come in much bigger sizes, with a higher price tag of course. Thanks for the video.
That kid is having the best childhood tbh. And by the looks, he is well raised as well. Nice job Mom & Dad ❤
🤗😊
The way your son looks mesmerised everytime he looks at Ma Durga, I am sure her blessings and protection are with him forever. Greta take on experiencing the rural style "Sabeki Durga Pujo" as well.
I really appreciate that you went to Indian villages in order to witness the actual India❤
Lot of love from West Bengal 🤗
We loved experiencing it all!
Chup akdom.
Thanks for visiting Bengal and that too rural Bengal. Many people visit only western part of India and ignore the east.
Don't fall for the fake propaganda of the Western side. The tourists are far more knowledgeable than we think.
Thank you both of you for showing the real bengal to the whole world.the little man is living his best life and the irony is he doesn't know that.
Lots of love from West Bengal

"If you wanted to have a massage, who would do it? Not me! So.. That's why I need a sibling"... Help the super cute kiddo... please, Parents!
The kid's explanations are brilliant in them being unedited. What a happy family !
Hayes is such a sweet kid!!
Happy Birthday and many many happy returns of the day!! 🎉🎂❤👏
Loved the grin and embarrassment on his face when the birthday cake was on the table 😍
5:41.. he is right😂... And the reason he wants a sibling is so sweet and little bit cunning 😅😂😂.
Huge love from my state of West Bengal. Please keep coming back here. Soul of India is here. A very very happy birthday too little Haze!
The musical instrument is called *Aktara* because they have a single string. There are some similar instrument very rare contemporarily called Dotara , because they have duel (2) strings.
Keep smiling remain blessed ❤
Your genuine admiration and love for traditional Indian culture is truly praiseworthy..also your smiles are infectious.
Untouched by time and pace, Life flows simply into purity and grace. Experience the villages of Bengal. ❤❤

It means a lot when people recognize this versus claiming we come to India for views. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
Dida means granny, hope you already know that 😂
Thank you guys for portraying India and our culture in such a beautiful way.❤
Happy Birthday to the little soul 🎉🥳 may God bless him and both of you.

Kolkata has that rich atmosphere and theme park pujas....but real ethnic culture lies in Rural Bengal.
