Nitesh Tewari, general secretary of the Puja Samiti, said: “Upwards of 75 workers from West Bengal are working constantly to complete the work by September 30. The work started in August.”

Asim Matya of Kolkata Bloom Workmanship is setting up the pandal. He is likewise making a colossal pandal in Jankipuram which is an imitation of a proposed tallest sanctuary of Vrindavan.

Laid out in 1975, the Mitro Sangho Durga Puja board of trustees of Model House has called ladies from West Bengal to play the ‘dhaak’, a conventional Bengali drum.

“Three men and three ladies dhakis from North 24 Parganas of West Bengal are coming for the puja at this pandal. Typically, the men play dhaak. This year we have roped in ladies too for the reason,” said Tewari.
