The cement park Durga Puja pandal is located near the famous junction Mall.
In Hinduism, a pandal is a temporary structure set up to usually venerate the god and goddess such as Ganesha during Ganesh Chaturthi, Krishna during Krishna Janmasthami or the Goddess Durga during Durga Puja, known as puja pandal. Pandals are also used for nonreligious activities.
The Durga Pujo atmosphere is magical. The cities all over India, be it New York , London you name them all celebrate Durga Puja is transformed into an open-air art gallery with stunning pandals popping up across the skyline like flowers, the nights lit up by intricate alo’r shaj, the carnival-esque atmosphere, jostling crowds decked up in their best, incense and fragrance from both flowers and perfumes, the all-night revelry and free intermingling with the opposite sex seems like paradise. But it does come with some hiccups. As the excitement fades away with the immersion of the goddess, relationships too might lose their sheen and simply fade away. After all, as Walter Scott in Lochinvar said, 'Love swells like the Solway, but ebbs like its tide'. To which the red-blooded Bengali will reply “Aschhe bochhor, aabaar hobe!” (Once again, next year!)
