Architecture has always been the mirror of the society. Historically it has represented the changes in the socio-cultural and political scenario. Durga Puja being one of the biggest socio-cultural and religious festival in India, the temporary pavilions or pandals set up to house the idols are visited by millions of people in a course of 4-5 days and hence can be envisaged as the containers of the public realm.
The curve walls guides a visitor into the triple height pavilion interior and flows outward, folding and unfolding as one travels. The main idol is placed along the longitudinal axis ,framed by the steel pillars giving dynamic viewpoints during the journey.
