Guwahati, Sept 28: This year’s Durga Puja in Athgaon, Guwahati, has taken a magical twist with the unveiling of a Harry Potter-themed pandal, enchanting visitors of all ages.
From the moment devotees step in, they are transported straight into the wizarding world — with recreations of Hogwarts Castle, Platform 9¾, and the Great Hall setting the tone for a mystical celebration. The pandal is packed with spellbinding details, including flying broomsticks, house insignias, and wand-like lighting effects, making it one of the most imaginative Puja setups in the city.
Organizers said the idea behind the theme was to connect with the younger generation while blending pop culture with tradition. “Durga Puja has always been about creativity and storytelling. This year, we wanted to create a fantasy world where families, especially children, can feel the magic while celebrating the Goddess,” said a member of the Athgaon Puja Committee.
The Harry Potter pandal has already started drawing massive crowds, making it one of the must-visit attractions of Puja 2025 in Guwahati.
