A Lake Town puja running since 1969, famous for near-full-scale replicas of global landmarks every single year — from the Vatican to Disneyland to Burj Khalifa.

Sree Bhumi Sporting Club, on Canal Street in Lake Town, South Dumdum, has been holding its Durga Puja since 1969. It's built its identity almost entirely around scale and spectacle: nearly every year since the mid-2010s, the club has recreated a famous global landmark as its pandal, at a size and level of detail unusual even by Kolkata's own high standards for theme pandals.

The list of past builds reads like a world tour: the Jagannath Temple (2016), a Baahubali-inspired build (2017), Rani Padmavati's palace (2018), a Chandragupta Maurya palace (2019), the Kedarnath Temple (2020), the Burj Khalifa (2021), Vatican City (2022), Disneyland (2023), the Tirupati Balaji Temple (2024), and a replica of the BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham temple in New Jersey (2025). The consistency of that ambition is a big part of why Sree Bhumi is regularly named among North Kolkata's most-visited pujas.
