Agartala: Agartala is gearing up for a vibrant Durga Puja with organizers unveiling creative themes. The Kunjaban Sporting Union is building a pandal from lakhs of discarded glass fragments set in iron frames. Artist Tapas Paul from Siliguri is leading the construction, which uses glittering lights to elevate the design. Paul expects big crowds for the project. He noted, "Drawing a parallel between broken glass and shattered hopes, he explained that his creation would demonstrate how something broken could be transformed into something beautiful and meaningful."
Committee president Sukanta Bhattacharjee says the group spent Rs 40 lakh on the celebrations. Nearby, the Aikatan Yuba Sangstha is prepping a 10-minute 3D projection show. It depicts Goddess Durga battling demons alongside Lord Shiva’s cosmic dance. Committee secretary Dip Dasgupta expects high turnout for the visual spectacle.
Other clubs are focusing on local and regional history. Shivnagar Modern Club will highlight 18 Tripura landmarks. President Pradip Kumar Ghosh confirmed replicas will include the Ujjayanta Palace, the Unakoti site, Neer Mahal, Tripura Sundari Temple, and Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport. The club wants to teach local kids about their own heritage. Meanwhile, the Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Club is going with a Rajasthan theme. Spokesperson Pradip Dey says the pandal resembles a royal palace, featuring a folk troupe from Jaipur playing traditional instruments in full costume.
