These Durga puja pandal pictures below are of Ahiritola, Ahiritola Jubak brinda, Kumartuli Sarbajanin,Kumartuli park, Nabin pally, and Nalin Sarkar street Durga pujas.

Ahiritola Durga idol I am sharing some more unique Durga puja pandals from north Kolkata. The first one is from Ahiritola. I try to see this one every year, and this time when i went there..I saw an old palatial house, and I was wondering how did I miss it last time...and well...guess what...this  old house was the "Ahiritola durga puja pandal"I.
