The Centerpiece – A Magnificent Protima:
The highlight of this year’s celebrations is a breathtaking 20-foot-high Protima (idol) of Goddess Durga, complete with an intricately crafted Mukut (crown). The idol stands at an impressive 17 feet in height without the Mukut and is 30 feet in length. This impressive sculpture weighs over 3 tons, necessitating the use of forklifts and cranes during the immersion process. The Protima takes seven rounds before immersion, making it a sight to behold.
The “Thai Temples” Theme:
This year’s Durga Puja theme, “Thai Temples,” has been masterfully curated to draw inspiration from the rich and ornate designs found in the temples of Thailand.
