Fame rating: 5 = known across India and a top crowd-puller or landmark heritage puja; 4 = well known across its city or state; 3 = well known in its city or community, or notable for its history.
Information is from the open source internet: news sites, committee pages, Wikipedia and travel listings. It has not been checked with the puja committees, so dates, themes and locations may be off. Coordinates are approximate, often for the neighbourhood rather than the exact pandal. "Open in Maps" searches by name and address and is the better link for navigation. Each card's photo slider loads up to 8 freely licensed photos of that puja from Wikimedia Commons, newest first, each with the photographer, licence and a link back. When a puja has fewer than three, photos of its temple or of other pandals in the same city are added and labelled as such; where a caption says "not this club", the photo shows another pandal in the same city. Photos on Google Images are copyrighted by their owners, so the site links to a Google search instead of copying them. Pujas without a free photo show a drawn poster. "No report found" means the research did not turn up a reliable report for that year, not that nothing happened.
