Pandal of the day: Madhyam Kolkata Uttaran on College Street for their take on the sound of the universe. Sound and it's many aspects dressed up the pandal in the North Kolkata locality. From gramophone horns to the inner ear and ear drum it was all there to dress it up. And inside the Durga's idol sat in meditation as if humming the ultimate sound of "brahma"… Om.
