Kolkata Durga Puja Pandal Themes

This year, Kolkata's Durga Puja pandals have outdone themselves with innovative themes, breathtaking artistry and attention to detail.

The viral video of the Durga puja pandal brilliantly showcases the process of puchka-making.

It's worth mentioning that Amit Shah previously inaugurated Puja pandals during the 2021 Assembly elections in Kolkata.

As the whole country continues to celebrate Chandrayaan-3's success, a Durga puja committee in Kolkata has decided to design its pandal modelled on lander Vikram which touched down on the lunar south pole on August 23.

Violence that rocked West Bengal following last year's assembly elections is the theme of a Durga Puja pandal in Kolkata with the Goddess shown as the mother of a dead child.

Shreebhumi Sporting Club, which is known for their enthralling new themes every year, has chosen the St Peters Basilica at the Vatican City this year.

Durga Puja pandals and idols of the goddess in the city of joy never fail to amaze. Even in a pandemic year, artists and idol makers have conceptualized eye-openers. Take a look at this Durga Puja pandal themed on Cyclone Amphan that left a trail of devastation in Kolkata and its suburbs in the beginning of June.

Durga Puja 2020: In a pandemic year, Durga Puja organizers have chosen the sudden Covid lockdown triggered migrant crisis and the 'coronavirus' as themes for the pandals. Migrants and Covid have emerged as the dominant themes of pandals and decorations in Kolkata and other places.

A city Durga Puja committee has triggered a controversy by playing Azaan--a Muslim call for prayer-- along with Sanskrit hymns as the theme music of the festivities.

Demonetisation or 'notebandi' has been chosen as the theme by organisers of at least two community Durga Pujas in West Bengal this year.

For all the rhythmic dhak (drum) beats, themed pandals and flashy attire, for most Bengalis, Durga Puja is incomplete without its gastronomic delights.

Durga Puja in Kolkata is about hopping from one pandal to another, gazing at themes, decor and idols. But, in a narrow lane at Khidderpore, a tiny pandal is upholding perhaps the true spirit of all festivals.

First there were theme pujas and now come the theme songs to attract more visitors to Durga Puja pandals in the city, which is on the throes of being immersed in the five-day long festivities.

This year's Durga Puja pandals are stressing on themes that explore subjects ranging from India's rich heritage to more contemporary women's empowerment, aided by digital 3D mapping technology.
