With Durga Puja set to begin on September 28, preparations are in full swing across the country—and Delhi is no exception. In Safdarjung Enclave, one of the capital’s most iconic Durga Puja celebrations, is gearing up for its 59th year, with this year’s pandal themed around Lord Vishnu.

Every year, the Matri Mandir pandal adopts a unique concept, and this year, organisers have chosen to pay tribute to Lord Vishnu. The pandal is currently being transformed into a divine spectacle, complete with intricate idols and symbolic motifs associated with the protector of the universe. Artisans from West Bengal have been working tirelessly for over 40 days, breathing life into the theme with traditional craftsmanship and cultural depth.
