With the vibrant energy of Navratri all around, I decided to go on a Pandal hopping trail across Pune to soak in the festive vibes.
Each pandal had its own unique charm, from beautiful Durga mata idols to devotional music and energetic aartis that lit up the evenings.

Here are the Pandals i visited

1. Pune Kali Bari, Khadki

The Bengali community in Pune has created a magnificent replica of the Ram Mandir, Ayodhya, as their Durga Puja pandal theme.

Added on maps

2. Shri Laxmi Mata Mandir

The Laxmi Mata Temple near swargate has become a major highlight with its stunning replica of the famous Meenakshi Temple of Madurai.

3. Durga Puja at Congress Bhavan

The Durga Puja celebrations at Congress Bhavan are a true reflection of tradition, community, and festive joy. Known as one of the oldest pandal set up by the Bengali community in Pune.Along with the beautifully decorated idol of Maa Durga, the area comes alive with food stalls serving authentic Bengali delicacies, stalls selling cotton handloom clothes, and other festive items.

My Map edits are getting views and helping people to find Pandals

Happy Navtrari to Everyone
