Goddess Durga wears 22kg GOLD designer sari worth Rs 6.5 crore at this Kolkata pandal
Designed by Kolkata-based fashion designer Agnimitra Paul, it took around two-and-half months and 50 artisans to make the extravagant outfit. Using more than 22kg of 22-carat gold, artisans from Bengal crafted a beautiful sari with intricate embroidery. Over two-and-half months, 50 artisans worked tirelessly to execute the extravagant outfit by the Kolkata-based fashion designer. Pradip Ghosh, president of the puja committee, told indianexpress.com that they wanted to do something unique this year and that's when his son and general secretary, Sajal Gosh, suggested this idea.

The theme of this puja is London', and thus a replica of Buckingham Palace has been built as the main mandap. London Bridge and Big Ben can also be seen here.
