Odisha celebrates Durga Puja in grand style.
Its Pandals are enough proof. There are hundreds of Pandals and super celebration!
Odisha's present capital city- Bhubaneswar & its erstwhile capital city- Cuttack had amazing Pandals this year too.
Here are some pics from the Pandal of Sahid-Nagar, a posh locality of Bhubaneswar.
There was art of the various goddesses - the forms of Maa Durga- Chandi, ChhinaMasta (Headless one), Sodasi, Bhubaneswari etc.
Notice the artistic decorations with beads, shells & flowers:
As usual, I loved the super light decorations!
In the pic below, can you spot a Giraffe, a man with a Guitar & Mahabharata's Shri Krishna accompanying Arjuna as his charioteer?
This was just one of the Durga Puja Pandals of Bhubaneswar.

Amazing temple. I love the aesthetic architecture. Mind-blowing:)
ReplyDeleteVishal, this is actually a temporary construction- Pandal of Durga Puja :)
DeleteNot a real temple/architecture. Work of art, never the less!
From the pics, it does appear so real & permanent :)
Fantastic creation! What a dedication! Every year new pandal has to be set up, still their creativity and devotion doesn't come down!
ReplyDeleteYes Sindhu!
DeleteEach year the Pandal-makers delight us with such creativity & devotion!
