It’s that time of year again! The air is perfumed with the scents of celebrations as the locals honor Durga puja.

This is one of the largest festivals in West Bengal. The nights are filled with a buffet of sounds while music and fireworks commemorate the occasion. As custom, pandals are built to showcase the deities to their adoring crowds. This year, many groups have used the ToVP as their inspiration and have modeled their pandals in its likeness. Several photos were sent capturing this recognition amongst the public. The ToVP’s distinction both as an architectural marvel and a spiritual haven have earned it a place in the hearts of many. The diversity of its impact is appreciated and the acknowledgment of its reach unites devotees in the promise of global spiritual awakening. Jai Nitai!
