It has been coloured with biodegradable colours. and it was constructed by village artisans from West Bengal near Midnapur, Kathi. Additionally, women of the community have designed the pandal wall.

Bijan Kumar Saha, resident of Jalvayu Vihar, sector 25 says, "I am very excited to celebrate this year's Durga Puja on a grand scale, as we were locked up in our homes for the last 2 years. Moreover, the theme we are following is something that everyone must realize."
