This year, Chetla Agrani Club has unveiled a breathtaking Durga Puja pandal themed 'Amrit Kumbher Shondhane', means 'In Search of the Nectar'. Drawing inspiration from the epic tale of 'Samudra Manthan', the pandal recreates the mythological moment when gods and demons churned the ocean to obtain Amrit, the nectar of immortality.
At the heart of the pandal stands a majestic Shivalinga, meticulously crafted using more than 3 crore Rudraksha beads, offering visitors a spiritual and awe-inspiring sight.

At the heart of the pandal stands a majestic Shivaling, crafted entirely out of Rudraksha beads. Over three crore Rudraksha beads have been used to design the structure, making it one of the most unique pandals of this festive season. The installation captures the cosmic balance of divinity, with scenes of gods, demons, and Lord Shiva’s pivotal role during the churning beautifully recreated.
Adding to the narrative, the pandal also illustrates the moment where Lord Shiva destroys the three demons (Asuras), weaving together mythology and artistry with intricate detailing.
Tribute Beyond Mythology
The theme is not only a tribute to the Maha Kumbh Mela but also honours Bengali author Samaresh Basu’s novel Amrit Kumbher Shondhane. The theme symbolises the eternal search for spiritual nectar and inner enlightenment.
