This golden
jubilee celebrating Durgapuja have looked down
south for its mandap. The mandap inspired by
famous Minakshi temple of Maduri. The exterior of
the mandap is made up of madur/sitalpati on a base
of plywood. The exterior is decorated with scenes
depicting the natraja (dancing shiva) & the 52
pieces of sati (another name of Durga) with the
details where they fall according to the mythology
of `satir dehatyag'. The interior is nicely done
with sitalpati & depicts different scenes from
Ramayana.
The idol of Durga is fabulous. The idol has been
built by Nikhil Pal. The organisers claim that the
puja rituals & the debi murti (idol) has been
the main focus of them since the last 50 years.
"We still continue with the same looks &
decor of Ma Durga from the first year"
claimed one of the organiors.
An idol worth to see inspite of the long queue.
