Kolkata, November 9, 2026: Shyam Metalics brought Kolkata alive with lights, art and cultural celebrations through its four-day festive initiative, ‘Alokmoy Kolkata’, held at Acropolis Mall from November 6 to 9, 2026. Celebrating the city’s vibrant cultural identity and festive spirit, the initiative brought together art, creativity and community participation, culminating in a grand finale featuring renowned actor and cultural icon Mithun Chakraborty as the special guest.
Rooted in Kolkata’s rich cultural heritage, ‘Alokmoy Kolkata’ offered an immersive festive experience where tradition blended seamlessly with creativity and innovation. A key highlight of the installation was a spectacular tree of lights crafted using SEL Tiger TMT Bars. Adding to the city-inspired artistic display, iconic Kolkata structures, including a heritage tram and a traditional taxi, were creatively designed using SEL Tiger Roofing Sheets. Complemented by illuminated arches and festive décor, the installations showcased the engineering versatility of Shyam Metalics’ products while celebrating the city’s distinctive character.
Going beyond conventional festive decorations, the initiative placed community engagement at its core. The celebrations featured a series of creative activities, encouraging visitors to actively participate in the festivities. The programme commenced on November 6 with Phoolon Ki Rangoli (Flower Rangoli), followed by a Rangoli Competition on November 7 and Diya Painting on November 8. These activities celebrated traditional Indian art forms while providing participants with a platform to express their creativity and contribute to Kolkata’s festive vibrancy.
The four-day celebration concluded on November 9 with a grand finale graced by Mithun Chakraborty. The concluding ceremony also featured the felicitation of competition winners and the distribution of special gifts, marking a memorable end to the festivities.
Speaking on the occasion, Nirmal Uday, Chief Operating Officer, Shyam Metalics, said, “Kolkata is not just a city; it is an emotion shaped by its people, traditions, creativity and an extraordinary spirit of togetherness. Through Alokmoy Kolkata, we wanted to celebrate this very spirit and create an experience where people were not merely spectators but an integral part of the festivities. It was particularly special for us to see our SEL Tiger TMT Bars and SEL Tiger Roofing Sheets take on creative forms inspired by the city we call home. For us, strength is not just about what we build with our products, but also about the connections we build with people and communities. With Alokmoy Kolkata, we hoped to add a little more light, joy and togetherness to the city’s Diwali celebrations.”
Through ‘Alokmoy Kolkata’, Shyam Metalics further strengthened its bond with the city by celebrating its people, traditions and cultural vibrancy.
