Theme : Birth
Birth is one of the marvels of existence. After birth, we develop our senses and grow up as beings. This development may drive us towards good or evil. Everyone is searching for a purpose in life and getting trapped in this web of good and evil. The theme of this puja plays with these ironies of existence. The Mahisasur here is asking for a new life from Maa Durga. 10000 pots have been used to make the pandal. The music blends in with the pots in the water creating a unique effect. The myriad installations depict the ups and downs in life.
