Located in Taltala, the Arjunpur Amra Sabai Club, established in 1973, has built a reputation for pushing the boundaries of puja artistry. For Durga Puja 2025, their theme 'Mukho Mukhi' (Face to Face) has already caught the city’s imagination.
Designed by acclaimed artist Shovin Bhattacharjee, the pandal fuses technology and tradition with a futuristic touch. It features breathtaking stainless steel installations, kinetic energy-driven rotating structures, and reflective elements that invite visitors to see themselves as they walk in. Bathed in blue light, the pandal radiates the essence of the universe, symbolizing energy, infinity, and self-awareness.
The idol of Maa Durga, sculpted by Shampa Bhattacharjee, carries both tenderness and power, embodying divine strength while also highlighting human introspection. Positioned within the gleaming kinetic environment, the idol becomes the still center of a moving world, a striking metaphor for spirituality amidst life’s constant flux.
What makes "Mukho Mukhi" unique is not just its mechanical precision and artistry, but the philosophy behind it. As visitors face their reflections within the shimmering pandal, they are reminded that devotion is not only about what lies before the eyes, but also what stirs within the soul.
