Bahubali-themed Durga pandal recreates Mahismati Kingdom
The Durga Puja pandal at Sreebhumi is a major attraction for pandal-hoppers this year. This year Sreebhumi Sporting club in Kolkata has decorated their pandal in the theme of Bahubali. The palace of Mahishmati, the ancient kingdom portrayed in the Bahubali series, has been recreated by the club. With Bahubali 2 being a blockbuster hit, the puja organisers hope their theme will attract large number of pandal hoppers.
