West Kamakhya Puja brings a slice of Kailash to revellers

In a departure from tradition, the West Kamakhya Colony Durga Puja Committee in Guwahati is honouring Lord Shiva this year. A towering 40-foot pandal, featuring a large Shiva face and Shivlingas, is being constructed with bamboo, foam, and thermocol. The interior will evoke Mount Kailash with cotton and blue lighting.
