The central Govt officers' quarters at 30, Belvedere Road all lighted up for diwali

even the children want to participate in the proceedings be it fanning a dhuno into life

shaped like a palki but diff fro putiari club as it is made of cloth not bamboo

idol also made of terracotta

terracotta theme

nothing prepared for the experience inside. we did the devi darshan amidst the continuous chanting of ohm. oh what a calming ambience it created in the middle of our mad pandal hopping- somewhat similar to our experience of 25 palli, kidderpore

the pandal was a stupa amidst a waterbody

the turban display on the pandal as seen from outside

the idol made of slate aimdst a riot of turban decor on the sides, in the interiors n exteriors, and the chandelier too which i missed

in the decor was used matir putul like Badamtala

on the pandal were dried "amra" painted in lots of diff colors. at the side they had also done the zodiac signs with these "amra"

the idols attired in lungi were quite inspiring

the color combination was also pretty impressive

decor made with fancy hair combs. what creative imagination! what beauty in simple things- i salute the bangla craftsman

The beautiful bamboo chandelier- not to miss

putiari club puja pandal. wish the camera had been a lil away

wonderfl theme of palki
