It seeks to honor all those puja pandals of South Calcutta that have successfully incorporated the elements of Safety, Cleanliness and Eco-Friendliness in their divine celebration of Goddess Durga. A Total of 240 pandals were covered in two rounds by the Judges (preliminaries and finals). Judged by a panel of four judges.
