The pandal reimagines the temple’s grandeur, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in its spiritual aura while invoking Goddess Durga as the eternal guardian of dharma
22 Palli Sarodotsab is known for its innovative themes and large-scale cultural programming, having earlier recreated the Golden Temple in 2019
Adding to the festive fervour, this year the organisers have introduced a landmark attraction — a 10,000 sq. ft. covered Puja food court with a seating capacity of 200. From traditional festive platters to contemporary flavours, the food court will cater to the Puja hunger pangs. Complementing it is an exclusive adda zone designed as a lively space where friends and families can gather, eat and celebrate the spirit of Durga Puja together
