Less than four months remain for the most coveted festival of the Bengali-speaking diaspora, Durga Puja. All over Bengal, Durga Puja is celebrated with much pomp and fare, with the puja pandals serving as the main attraction of the entire festival. Some locations are famous for creating replicas of architecture of global fame. In 2022, Kalyani’s ITI More grabbed eyeballs when they built a pandal on the lines of Malaysia’s famed Twin Towers. This year, Jirat Adi Barowari is all set to take your breath away with Qatar’s ‘Moon tower’ based Durga Puja pandal on the occasion of the 74th anniversary of their Durga Puja celebrations.

The pandal will measure 90 feet in height and 120 feet in width, with an estimated construction cost of Rs. 19 lakhs. The total budget allocated for the puja amounts to Rs. 32 lakhs. Inside the mandap, the visitor’s path will be paved with crystal stones. Small stones are also used to decorate the idol. Asit Singha, the secretary of the Puja committee, emphasised that our happiness revolves around this festival.

In addition to Khuti Puja, an auspicious ritual that is conducted before the pandal is constructed, the Jirat Adi Barowari committee organised various awareness programs throughout the day. A bike rally was also held on the occasion. The organisers are aiming to surpass Kolkata in terms of theme. They also mentioned, “We anticipate large crowds at the Barwari grounds during the festival.” On the third day, the doors of the mandap will be open to the general public. Sufficient arrangements have been made to manage the crowd, including the deployment of ample volunteers.

The Qatar Moon Tower is a luxury 5-star and 6-star hotel that was opened in 2022 when Qatar hosted the World Cup in Qatar. The tower covers a total area of about 3,229,200 sq ft. It offers entertainment and recreational facilities, specialist boutiques, movie theatres and restaurants.
