Durga Pujo is just round the corner and Kolkata, in the meantime, is all lit up as Devi Durga is all set to descend on earth with her children. The West Bengal capital revels in joy during the five days of Durga Pujo - Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navami and Vijaya Dashami as people go pandal hopping around the Kolkata and enjoy delicacies all across.
While pandals are created around several themes every year, Sreebhumi Sporting Club, one of the celebrated pujos of Kolkata, has constructed a Dubai's Burj Khalifa-themed pandal in the Lake Town area. Pictures and videos of the pandal have gone viral on social media.
The 145-feet tall Burj Khalifa pandal has special lighting arrangements that will make it look nothing short of majestic at night. 250 workers built the pandal over a span of two months.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Sujit Bose, Sreebhumi Sporting Club President, said, "Every year, we build the pandal in form of a replica of iconic buildings. Earlier, we had built it on the theme of Paris Opera, Kedarnath and Puri temples among others."

Sreebhumi Sporting Club also takes up several social work duties every year during Durga Pujo, said Sujit Bose, who is also the Fire and Emergency Services Minister in the West Bengal Government.
"We always do social works during this celebration. We have organised a blood donation camp this year for around 2,000 people," he said.
Sujit Bose reiterated that Sreebhumi Sporting Club will strictly adhere to Covid-19 guidelines as imposed by the West Bengal Government on Wednesday.
The guidelines state that the pandals will be spacious and open from all sides with separate entry-exit points. Social distancing has to be maintained.
Maha Shashthi is on October 11 this year while Durga Puja will conclude on October 15 with Vijay Dashami.
