The biggest festival of Bengal is here, and the celebrations in full swing (how can we forget, for most today is the last official working day before the puja holidays begin), the crowd often feel confused with the myriad of pandals that they need to tick off from the list- North Kolkata or South Kolkata?

This dilemma will never subside; North Kolkata is upholding the tradition and giving you a whiff of the ancient cultural heritage, while South Kolkata is all clad with its extravagant artisanal pandals and not to forget the ‘bonedi bari’ puja that lets you explore the vibrancy and age old traditions and culture.

And, while in another article, you will find our list of top picks of South Kolkata Durga puja pandals, here’s a list of the top North Kolkata pandals you should not miss out on.
