It is that time of the year. Hindu festival season. Today is Raksha Bandhan - Rakhi and Durga Puja is coming soon. In this thread, I will be showing images of the preparations initially and the actual Puja when it comes.

This is the Biggest Puja in my colony, at the Shiv Mandir Complex, Chittaranjan Park, New Delhi

Workers tying the bamboo scaffolding. A typical Indian construction method. It is green, as the bamboos are re used and no nails are used, only coir ropes.

I will be giving a weekly update, as my wife goes to the Mandir every Saturday morning. In the last week before Puja, it will be a daily update as the Idols will be ready for delivery.
