The Shree Bhoomi Sporting Club, known for its lavish and distinctive pandals, has chosen the Vatican City as the theme for this year. The club has done this by modelling its marquee after St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. The puja pandal’s images and videos are being widely disseminated online.
The pandal took 60 days to complete, according to Sujit Bose, head of the Sree Bhumi Sporting Club, who spoke to ANI. “This pandal was created by more than 100 artists working together. We constructed Burj Khalifa last year. For crowd control, everything has been planned, he claimed.
Despite receiving a lot of attention, not everyone has been impressed by the pandal’s concept. This year during Durga Puja, the Shree Bhumi Sporting Club in Kolkata built a pandal with the St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City as its subject. Failure of concepts A traditional Bengali theme couldn’t be found? When will the savage attitude depart from Indian souls? a user of twitter wrote.
Many internet users, however, defended the theme and contended that one should pay attention to craftsmanship and beauty and that pandals in West Bengal were frequently styled after foreign destinations. This is masterfully done, a Twitter user commented. Avoid becoming too sensitive to offence. This pandle does not diminish Ma Durga’s magnificence. Enjoy the incredible craftsmanship that is on display here.
