What's your Puja mood? 🎭

Pick a mood — we'll jump you to a handpicked starting list pulled from real pandal data (badges, heritage status, zone). These are curated starting points, not official rankings.

When it happens 🔔

Confirm exact dates against a panchang closer to October — lunar calendars shift by a day or two year to year.

Hungry after visiting? 🍜

Pick a pandal and a craving — we'll open a real Google Maps search for that food category right around that location. We don't maintain our own restaurant database, so this always pulls live, current places instead of a stale list.

Find the nearest Metro 🚇

General, static guidance — not live transit status. Always double-check timings closer to the date, since Puja nights often mean extended metro hours and road closures around the biggest pandals.
