For 2025, the mandap will be decorated around the concept ‘Goddess Maa on the Hill’ offering visitors an immersive experience that highlights Odisha’s rich natural landscapes and vibrant cultural heritage.

The pandal will be designed to resemble a picturesque hilltop temple, featuring an open courtyard at its heart. Around it, visitors will find meticulously crafted representations of Odisha’s lush natural landscapes, including verdant paddy fields, dense forests, caves, and wildlife sanctuaries. The display will also showcase indigenous tribes and their cultural practices, creating a vivid tableau that celebrates the harmonious coexistence of nature and tradition.
