If you are excited about the Durga puja, clap your hands! We are less than a month and a half away from the grand puja celebrations and being a Bengali, I cannot keep calm. This is the time when the entire West Bengal is getting decked up with pandals to welcome Maa Durga. There are uncountable beautiful pandals all around the state and today I am taking you on a virtual trip to one of this year’s biggest attractions.
Save Your Trip To Macau And Watch Grand Lisboa Here!
Today, I am showing you one of the most anticipated pandals of 2023. Kalyani, a small town in the Nadia district of West Bengal, gained massive popularity and recognition after last year’s extravagant Petronas Twin Towers. Malaysia’s famous historical landmark-themed Durga Puja was a major success at the Luminous Club in Kalyani ITI More. This year, the club authorities are back again to attempt something extraordinary and way beyond our expectations. Looking at the ongoing construction, I am quite certain that it is going to be a few steps ahead of the grandeur of the last year.

The theme of the Durga puja pandal in Kalyani’s Luminous Club is the iconic Grand Lisboa. Nestled in Macau, this humongous establishment is renowned all around the world and its magnificence is simply out of this world. And now you, me, and everyone can witness the glory of it right here in Kalyani.
Preparations For Durga Puja Are Going On In Full Swing!
The construction of the gigantic pandal, over 160 ft in height, began a long time ago. It has been months since the time I saw workers starting to build this Grand Lisboa-themed Durga puja pandal. They are working relentlessly each and every day and building the iconic pandal with a lot of effort and hard work. To make a pandal of such a scale is not an easy attempt. The authorities are investing a lot of money to work on this and bring their vision to life.
