'Sristi Roop' is the theme of this year's Durga Puja of South

Durga destroyed Mahisasur by attaining power from all the major gods.
Here at this puja mandap, the calm and peaceful image of goddess Durga

found in a look of meditation. A land area of 150/50 ft would be used
for this purpose. A pond made of concrete is being made here on the
ground which will play major role in depiction of the theme. The
pandal will be prepared by aluminium foil, fence of bamboo, leaves,
iron sheet, tafota cloth and transparent poly cloth. About 1500
bamboos would be used to erect the pandal. The hanging of bamboos
