What it does

Built for the 11pm crowd on the street.

Where to now?

Share your location — get the three closest pandals, walking time, and which metro gate to take.

A list that lives in chat

Say “add Bagbazar”. Check pandals off at the gate. It remembers tomorrow, and next year.

Themes, decoded

What Kumartuli built this year, and who built it. With sources — never rumour.

Talk to it like a friend

History, rituals, food near your route, Sandhi Puja timing. Banglish works fine.

Why it exists

Every Saptami, the same argument: “which pandal next?” Pujo Buzz began as a tiny script to settle exactly that — a map, a list, and eventually, a friend in your chat. Built in Kolkata, between two phuchka breaks.
