Laketown Shripalli Welfare Association builds Durga Puja pandal using 10 lakh newspapers, see this unique sight!

A Durga Puja Pandal is a large, temporary, and often elaborately decorated structure erected to house the idol of the goddess Durga during the annual Durga Puja festival. While the religious festival has ancient roots, the tradition of building these artistic, themed pavilions became a prominent feature of the celebration in Kolkata during the 18th century. Today, these pandals are renowned for their creative and often extravagant designs, which can range from replicas of famous global monuments to abstract artistic concepts.
