117 Forms of Maa Durga — A Living Marvel
Kamalpur Abhijaan Sangha has built an enduring legacy of daring artistic installations. In 2026, we proudly unveil our most spiritually profound and visually breathtaking presentation: 117 distinct iconography forms of Goddess Durga, based on ancient Vedic scriptures, Shakta agamas, and traditional Bengal folklore.
Sculpted by master clay artists of Krishnanagar and Kumartuli, each form represents a unique cosmic energy: from Mahamaya, Chandika, and Navadurga to lesser-known village guardian deities of Bengal. The pandal is meticulously designed using eco-friendly jute, terracotta, and hand-carved wood to honor mother nature.
