When to see theme pandals without the crush
- Shashti evening or Saptami afternoon — lights are on, crowds have not peaked yet.
- Early on Ashtami morning — many people are at anjali in their local para.
- Avoid Navami night for the biggest names unless you enjoy the crowd itself.
Photography tips
- Go just after dusk for the best mix of sky and lighting.
- Shoot facades from across the road; inside, focus on details like the pratima’s eyes and ornaments.
- Respect queue volunteers — many pandals do not allow stopping inside the sanctum.
