Yet another festival I was waiting for after Ganpati festival. Durga Puja in Mumbai has all authentic spirit of celebration and splendor of the festival of Bengalis. I was wandering through the streets of Mumbai to visit puja pandals....I saw Durga Pandal of Navi Mumbai Bengali Association at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Sports Ground, Sector 1A, Vashi, Navi Mumbai. It was amazing.
Pandal hopping is almost like a tradition when it comes to Durga Puja and Bengalis. The pandal was decorated lavishly with superior design and lightning.
The 16 feet-tall Durga idol was draped in an original Banarasi saree studded with ornaments made of seashells. Various gods were decorated beautifully. The walls were decorted with electric wires and bulbs.
The vast area of the compound were filled with stalls selling food, cloths etc etc. They also arranged musical and dance events during the Puja. Durga Puja is definitely a festival to look out for especially those who love celebrations, mouth watering sweets, dance and music.
