4,000 kgs of turmeric used to create Durga Puja pandal in Kolkata

The pandal was thrown open to public on Friday, i.e the 'tritiya' or the third day of Navratri. Apart from the idol, the cooking bowl made for the decor was also one of the key attractions.

To spread awareness about the health benefits of turmeric, a pandal in Kolkata has gone the extra mile. The Santoshpur Lake Pally Puja pandal used around 4,000 kgs of turmeric to make the pandal, including the idol of goddess Durga.

In a statement to India Today, Ashok Jain, marketing director JK Masale, and the force behind the concept, said, “Turmeric is a healthy item and that’s why we chose the concept. It is beneficial for everything, be it health or cosmetic. Haldi is also the main item of Maa Annapurna- main ingredients of any food. We are trying to spread its awareness”.

The pandal was thrown open to public on Friday, i.e the ‘tritiya‘ or the third day of Navratri. Apart from the idol, the cooking bowl made for the decor was also one of the key attractions. It had turmeric sticks hanging around the earthen pot.
