Kankurgachi Navoday Pallimangal

Kankurgachi Navoday Pallimangal

This pandal, built by Kankurgachi Navoday Pallimangal at Kankurgachi in north-east Kolkata tops our list. Just as one enters the pandal, one is greeted by a captivating fragrance of sandalwood incense and notes of “Buddham Sharanam Gachchami”, and is drifted to another realm of existence. Built with the slogan “Mann Karo Shuddha, Smaran Karo Buddha” (purify your soul by remembering Buddha), Kankurgachi Navoday Pallimangal tells the tale of Lord Buddha’s life through various stages. Depicting various forms of Buddha, this pandal also has a Bodhi Tree, where the idols of Maa Durga and her children are placed. This one is not to be missed at any cost!
