About Bosepukur Sitala Mandir Durga Puja
Bosepukur Sitala Mandir’s Durga Puja made the city sit up in 2001 with a pandal made entirely of bhanr, the clay cups tea is served in. The idea that a pandal could be a work of art built from one everyday material caught on, and the club has been among the leading theme pujas since.
