Durga Puja is an important festival of Odisha, India and is celebrated with pomp & grandeur.
Odisha's capital is the Temple-city, Bhubaneswar.
Here are some pics of the Nayapalli Durga Puja Samiti Pandal.
Nayapalli is a locality of Bhubaneswar:
Doesn't the palace, oops Pandal, look appealing?
It was past midnight when we reached. Yet, look at the crowd!
Notice the deities Lord Balabhadra, Devi Subhadra & Lord Jagannath strategically placed on the Pandal just above the "Welcome" :
There was lovely lighting on the road leading to the Pandal.
It truly looked like a magical Palace:
This was just one of the Durga Puja Pandals of Bhubaneswar.
