Kolkata Durga Puja Pandals 2025: Sharadiya Navratri has begun. A grand Durga Puja celebration is held during Navratri. Durga pandals are decorated everywhere, and celebrations are held. When it comes to grand Durga pandals, the most popular and world-famous Durga Puja pandals are found in Kolkata, West Bengal.

Grand pandals are decorated in Kolkata with various themes, reflecting national, international, and social issues. This helps people connect Durga Puja to their lives and raise awareness about it. Several photos of the 2025 Durga Puja pandal decorations and preparations have emerged from various locations in Kolkata. These photos are attracting attention on social media, and the unique themes are encouraging people to visit. Here are some glimpses of this year's Durga Puja pandals being held in Kolkata.

These photos are from the Tala Pratyaya Club in Kolkata. This year, they have made migrant workers a special theme for Durga Puja. The goddess is depicted as a migrant worker with a plough.

This photo is from Kumhar Toli in Kolkata, where an artist is finalizing the face of the goddess before Navratri. The artists begin work months in advance, creating the idol. Navratri is a grander festival for them than Diwali and Holi.

This photo is from the Baguiati Rail Pukur United Club in Kolkata, which has dedicated birds to its pandal this year. This includes a 20-foot-tall statue. The club's theme is "Shabd, meaning sound." Its goal is to highlight the sounds in our everyday lives. The club says that rapid urbanization, rampant deforestation, and high-rise concrete buildings have destroyed the birds' natural habitats. They are trying to draw attention to this.

Work is underway to finalize the decorations in Kolkata's pandals. The pandals will be inaugurated today, Monday. At some places, these theme-based sites will be opened for tourists, and Durga Puja will be held as per schedule.
