About this pandal
Nandanik Club runs one of Contai's best-known Durga Pujas, in the Karkuli area along P K College Road. It's regularly recognised locally for its pandal and idol craftsmanship, with reviewers noting past puja awards.
What to expect
Expect a polished, competition-calibre pandal — reviewers consistently rank it among Contai's best, with structure and idol design as the main draw.
Good to know
Durga Puja 2026 runs from Shashthi on 16 October to Vijaya Dashami on 21 October, with Maha Ashtami on 19 October drawing the biggest crowds across the district. Located on P K College Road (State Highway 5) in Karkuli, Contai — roughly 55km south of Tamluk town, so plan it as its own trip rather than a same-day add-on.
Quick answer
Is Nandanik Club in Tamluk town?
No — it's in Contai (Kanthi), a separate town in Purba Medinipur district around 55km south of Tamluk, so treat it as a separate leg of your trip.
