DESCRIPTION:Out of the myriad image complexes that constitute the visual-s
 cape of Kolkata’s Durga Pujas\, this lecture will focus on the temporary
  edifices housing the goddess that are locally termed pandals. Laying out 
 a conceptual framework for this form of ephemeral festival architecture an
 d the functions it performs\, the essay weaves together the exhibitionary 
 worlds of the festival with\nits range of skills and styles of making. It 
 considers the ways in which these Puja pandals produce an imaginary festiv
 al topography that sprouts out of the city’s inhabited spaces and rests 
 thickly within its built fabric\, blurring the boundaries between the real
  and the fabricated. It also delves into the local art of pandal making an
 d the assemblage of labour\, expertise\, material and design by decorator 
 firms and pavilion designers.
