As Durga Puja is round the corner, Sarbojanin Sri Sri Kali Puja Samiti (SSSKPS) is leaving no stones unturned to make it a grand success. Marking the 10th anniversary of the samiti, the members have decided to make it a grand festival this time by bringing artisans from West Bengal to erect the replica of a traditional temple.
The pandal will have replica of a traditional temple by using bamboo, plywood and other decorative materials. “Appropriate lighting has also been planned. The idol is also being made by a Kolkata-based famous artist. This is a purely green building,” said SSSKPS’ general secretary Uttam Sarkar.
“During the six-day festival starting from October 19, we are also expecting a host of dignitaries, including HRD Minister Smriti Irani, to visit our pandal. We have made elaborate arrangements to showcase various cultural programmes from across the country to be performed by a galaxy of professional artists. local kids will also take part in various programmes that include dance, recitation, drama and others. The fun-filled six days is sure to attract more than 50,000 spectators not just from Delhi, NCR but from others parts of the twin states also.” said a member of the samiti.
