Salt Lake AG Block

Salt Lake AG Block

As you land near Salt Lake’s Baishakhi island and walk towards AG Block, you are hit by the feeling that you have come to a place which is far removed from the hustle and bustle of Kolkata. This pandal is built in the form of Rabindranath Tagore’s house in Shantiniketan. Complete with mud-coated floors and lime-washed walls, AG Block pandal makes you feel a close proximity to nature, and aims at reminding the young of the culture and heritage that existed during the days of Rabindranath Tagore. The idol of Maa Durga completes the rural look of the pandal, with a very simple and divine look, with a saffron coloured saree and Rudraksh beads around her neck.
