Laxmi Bazaar Shines with Silver Splendour
The Laxmi Bazaar puja mandap has drawn significant attention during the ongoing Laxmi Puja celebrations for its unique blend of tradition and creativity. The idols of Goddess Laxmi have been decorated with silver, adding a radiant charm to the festive ambience.
Alongside the silver adornments, the mandap has portrayed a Kumbh Mela-inspired cartoon setup, depicting people who gained popularity during media coverage. The artistic display also includes symbolic structures referencing the Pahalgam attack, combining visual storytelling with social awareness.
The creative approach of the Laxmi Bazaar committee has added depth to the celebration, merging devotion with a reflection on contemporary social themes, and attracting large crowds of visitors and pandal hoppers across Dhenkanal.
