The most traditional idol with the goddess having big un-humanly eyes
The human like idol of the goddess, once there was even a fashion of making depicting faces of famous Bollywood heroines! Which is, if I may add, unthinkable in the other parts of India
The theme here was some African tribal art, there is a competition from best theme, as well as best idol, pandal etc, and most interestingly prizes are given normally to the ones relating to other cultures and secular themes
The godess depicated in unconventional style
Goddess durga through bangles (the pandal was made out of bangles that women wear in their wrists!
An idol
This whole structure of the ancient temple was made out of card boards and mud only for 5 days!
One sculpture
