MUMBAI: If Bengal’s Durga Puja is a painting in motion, then Tata Tea Gold has just framed it in gold. This festive season, the brand has launched a dazzling campaign Banglar Shilpi Shojjito Pujo featuring 10 limited-edition tea packs designed by celebrated Bengali artists, each capturing a different ritual of the five-day celebration.
The packs are more than packaging, they are canvases. From the thunder of the dhaak on Shashti to the swirling smoke of the dhunuchi dance on Nabami and the sindoor-smeared joy of Dashami, every pack is a stroke of nostalgia. Artists like Goutam Sarkar (acrylic realism), Gopal Naskar (myth-meets-modern pastels), Gourab Kundu (fluid watercolours), Anjan Bhattacharya (rich oils), and Joyeeta Bose (digital magic) have each lent their craft, creating a collectible series that doubles as an ode to Bengal’s artistic soul.
The campaign extends beyond shelves. A special festive TVC opens with a steaming cup of Tata Tea Gold in a Bengali household before the vapour spirals into colours that paint vibrant pandals, neighbourhoods, and rituals across West Bengal. Every transition becomes art itself with the film ending on the evocative line: “Banglar Pujo Ek Sonar Chhobir Mawto” (Bengal’s Pujo is nothing short of a golden painting).
“Durga Puja is not just a festival; it is an emotion that binds Bengal,” said Tata Consumer Products president for packaged beverages India & South Asia Puneet Das. “This year, by collaborating with local artists, we’ve brought those emotions alive on every pack, making Pujo feel as personal as it is collective.”
The initiative builds on Tata Consumer Products’ vast consumer base of 275 million Indian households and its wide portfolio from Tata Tea and Tetley to Tata Salt, Sampann, Soulfull and Ching’s Secret. With a consolidated turnover of Rs. 17,618 crore, the company is betting on art and authenticity to deepen its festive connect.
This Durga Puja, tea breaks in Bengal may just feel like gallery visits, cups steeped not only in flavour but also in festival, memory, and art.
