Editorial Note: Glitterist Magazine Issue No. 43

Welcome to Issue No. 43 of Glitterist Magazine — an edition celebrating strength, style, and stories that inspire. From our powerful cover star Barna Raha Banerjee to Tejas Gandhi’s dazzling winter fashion feature and the launch of Vision Elite 2026, this issue reflects the spirit of ambition and evolution.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Let’s continue to sparkle, shine & set the world ablaze.

Dear Readers,

As we step into the 43rd edition of Glitterist Magazine, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude for how far this journey has come—and for the extraordinary community that continues to grow with us.

This issue celebrates strength, reinvention, and rising voices—the very spirit that defines the world we belong to.

Our cover star, Barna Raha Banerjee, is a powerful reminder that a woman’s identity is never limited to a single role. An actress, RJ, pageant winner, theatre practitioner, mother, and inspiration—she embodies what we at Glitterist stand for: substance with sparkle, talent with purpose. Her story is not just a feature—it is a message to every woman who dares to redefine her own narrative.

This month also marks the unveiling of Glitterist Vision Elite 2026, a project close to my heart. Vision Elite is not merely a calendar shoot—it is a platform of transformation, where image becomes influence and visibility becomes legacy. With only 12 faces chosen, it sets a new benchmark for how talent and brands are showcased in today’s evolving glamour landscape.

We are also honoured to cover moments that made Bengal proud—from the Cricket Association of Bengal’s grand felicitation of Richa Ghosh at Eden Gardens, to cinema’s most awaited resurgence with Border 2, introducing Varun Dhawan’s striking first look alongside legends who shaped a generation.

Adding to this, our Editor’s Special fashion feature brings the winter nightlife of Kolkata alive with Tejas Gandhi’s party-wear collection, shot at the stunning Aerosky Bar & Kitchen, where style meets skyline.

With every page, Issue 43 reflects what Glitterist has always believed—
that glamour is not just appearance;
it is ambition, courage, culture, and identity.

As we move forward, Glitterist remains committed to discovering talent, empowering voices, and creating platforms that do not just showcase individuals—but elevate them.

Thank you to every reader, collaborator, and believer who stands with us.

Let us continue to
sparkle, shine & set the world ablaze.

Editorial Note of Glitterist Magazine Issue No. 42

Dear Readers,

As I pen this note for our 42nd Issue of Glitterist Magazine, I can’t
help but look back at the incredible journey that has brought us
here — a journey built on passion, creativity, and the power of
collaboration.

The past few months have been particularly special for the
Glitterist family. On 15th October 2025, we celebrated a
milestone moment with the Physical Copy Launch of Issue No. 41
and the official premiere of our new anthem, “Glitterist – Set The World Ablaze.”
The event at Hangoutz Boutique Café, Garia was not just a launch — it was a celebration of art, music, and the community we’ve built together. Seeing the sparkle in every face
that evening reminded me why we started this journey — to create
a platform where every talent shines and every dream finds a
stage.

This 42nd Issue carries that same fire of inspiration. Our Cover Model, Sangita Saha Debnath,
embodies elegance, strength, and perseverance. Her journey — from the serene beauty of Melaghar in
Tripura to the glamorous world of pageantry — reflects the very essence of what Glitterist stands for:
rising from roots, embracing individuality, and shining with authenticity.

We also bring you exclusive event coverages from across the region — including the Curtain Raiser of
Miss & Mrs. Pride of East India Season 2 by Heels & Crowns, and the captivating city activation of Pitch
To Get Rich featuring Golubhai Badalia’s “Men in Black” campaign that took over Kolkata. Each story in this issue celebrates visionaries, dreamers, and creators who continue to redefine beauty,
entrepreneurship, and purpose.

At Glitterist, our mission has always been simple yet powerful — to Sparkle, Shine & Set The World
Ablaze! This issue is a reflection of that burning spirit — of those who dare to dream differently and
have the courage to turn those dreams into legacy.

To every reader, contributor, and supporter — thank you for believing in us. Your love and
encouragement fuel this creative journey and inspire us to keep pushing boundaries.
Here’s to every dreamer who refuses to dim their light — may you continue to sparkle, shine, and yes…
set the world ablaze! ✨

With gratitude and pride,
Suvojit Barman

Gariahat Hindustan Club Unveils its Pujo Theme Song 2025 – Amar Janani Tumi

Puja Theme Song Launch- Amar Janani Tumi

Kolkata, 25th September 2025 –

In a heartfelt tribute to Maa Durga and the spirit of Bengal’s most cherished festival, Gariahat Hindustan Club proudly launched its official Durga Puja Theme Song 2025, titled Amar Janani Tumi.

This soul-stirring composition is the creative culmination of three celebrated artists – lyrics by Hon’ble Minister of State, Smt. Chandrima Bhattacharya, music by Debaditya Chaudhury (renowned keyboardist of Bangla Rock Band Lakkhichhara), and vocals by acclaimed singer Raghav Chatterjee. The track has been released under the label Cosmik Harmony.

Amar Janani Tumi beautifully encapsulates the emotional, cultural, and spiritual essence of Durga Puja. As the beats of dhaak resonate through the festive air and the fragrance of shiuli ushers in autumn, the song stands as a heartfelt reminder of Bengal’s eternal devotion to Maa Durga.

Sharing her thoughts, Smt. Chandrima Bhattacharya, Lyricist & Minister of State, said:
“Amar Janani Tumi is more than a song — it is a prayer, a celebration, and a tribute to the strength and compassion of Maa Durga. Writing these lyrics was a deeply emotional experience, inspired by my own bond with the festival and its meaning in our lives.”

Reflecting on the composition, Debaditya Chaudhury, Composer & Keyboardist, noted:
“With this song, I wanted to musically express the devotion, grandeur, and warmth that Durga Puja brings to every Bengali heart. Amar Janani Tumi is rooted in tradition yet designed to connect with today’s generation through a timeless soundscape.”
Adding his voice to the celebration, Raghav Chatterjee, Vocalist & Eminent Singer, remarked:
“It’s always special to sing for Pujo, but Amar Janani Tumi felt truly divine. The lyrics touched my soul, and the music was emotionally rich. I believe this song will stay in people’s hearts long after the Puja lights fade.”

Hindustan Club, Garia Hat Durga Puja 2025

With the launch of Amar Janani Tumi, Gariahat Hindustan Club not only adds a new cultural highlight to Durga Puja 2025 but also creates a musical tribute that will deeply resonate with devotees and music lovers alike.

There, he meets Ayesha, whose life has also been trapped in the same world. While Ayesha initially rejects his request, her heart gradually softens, and she begins to fight against the current alongside him.
