 PANDALS

Pandal's are large tent like structures, built in wood and cloth over a
bamboo super-structure.
they are built for Durga Puja,GANESH UTSAV,EXHIBITIONS,STAGE
SHOWS ETC. with certain modifications, bamboo could be used to construct
cost-effective, large span, temporary structures.
NOWADAYS BAMBOO IS BEING REPLACED BY PREFABRICATED
METAL RODS & TRUSSESS. The conventional bamboo and tarpaulin pandals
have receded into the background - probably due to reduction in the number of
mangroves
 MATERIALS
WOODEN BULLIES-
THESE WOODON BULLIES ARE
OBTAINED FROM SAGWAAN,BABUL
TREE. {200 TO 275mm DIA. HT-4500 TO
5400 MM}

BAMBOO -
BAMBOO IS THE MOST WIDELY
USED MATERIAL USED TO
BUILD SUCH STRUCTURES AS IT
HAS MORE TENSILE STRENGTH
& IS CHEAP ALSO.{75 TO 100MM
DIA.}
 CHOIR ROPES

25 TO 50 ft {7.5 TO 15 M} LONG COIR ROPES COME IN BUNDLES.

RANGING FROM Rs 400 TO 800. COIR COMES FROM KERELA & TAMIL
NADU.
 FABRIC
CLOTH IS USED T0
i. TO COVER UP THE SKELETON
OF THE STRUCTURE.
ii. DECORATIVE PURPOSE.
• PER METER OF CLOTH COSTS
ABOUT Rs 20 TO 80
DEPENDING ON THE
THICKNESS.
• WIRING FOR THE FANS AND
LIGHTS IS ALSO HIDDEN BY
THE CLOTH.
 GALVANISED IRON SHEETS

C.G.I.(CORRUGATED GALVANISED IRON) ARE USED FOR WATER

PROOFING. PER 10 TO 12 ft {3 to 3.5m} OF LENGTH - Rs 275 TO 300.
 TIMBER PLANKS-
PLY OR WOODEN PLANKS OF
THICKNESS 35-40MM ,LENGTH 4500-
5000MM,WIDTH 250-300MM ARE USED
TO BUILT A TEMPORARY STAGE.

WOODEN RODS-
THESE ARE USED TO
SUPORT THE PLANKS.
I BEAMS &
SECTIONS.
OTHER MATERIALS

COCONUT LEAVES
OR HAY CAN ALSO
BE USED TO COVER
THE BAMBOO
FRAMEWORK.
 BAMBOO MATS
• Bamboo mats of various types are manufactured on a commercial
basis. such mats are produced from the dried stalks of various
kinds of marshy plants and weeds or out of bamboo slips.
• long bamboos are cut into several parts according to the desired
length of the mats to be woven. Then each part is splitted into
several thin pieces, the breadth of such pieces being about 1/8" to
1/16". Then the soft portion of such bamboo split is removed
whereupon the flat flexible bamboo strips are obtained for
manufacturing mats.
• Bamboo mats are extensively used for construction of temporary
walls and sheds, big pandals, etc.

 JOINERY
• TAR IS APPLIED TO THE FOOT OF
THE WOODEN BULLIES . 2 TO 3 ft
{60 TO 90 CM}.
• 2 to 3 ft {60 TO 90 CM} DEEP & 10
TO 12 inch {25 TO 30 CM}
DIAMETER HOLE IS DUG ON THE
GROUND FOR ERECTING THE
WOODEN BULLIES.
• FOR HORIZONTAL SUPPORT
WOODEN BULLIES OR BAMBOOS
ARE TIED WITH THE HELP OF
COIR ROPES AT ABOUT 1.5 TO 1.8
M.
• BAMBOOS ARE USED AS PURLINS.
 SPAN
• AFTER A SPAN OF 18 TO 20 ft {5.5
TO 6 M} STEEL,M.S. PIPES OR I
GIRDERS {SECTION 125×75} ARE
USED.
• LIMITATION OF THIS SPAN
IS 35 ft {10.5 M}.
• GALVANISED SHEETS OR FABRIC
IS USED OVER THE
FRAMEWORK. SHEETS ARE
USUALLY PLACED OVER THE
FABRIC which IS TIED UP
WITH THE HELP OF THREADS.
• CANVAS TARPOLIN IS ALSO
USED FOR WATER PROOFING. Rs
2 TO 5 PER sq.ft.

GI SHEETS ARE TO BE LAID.BELOW IT BAMBOOS ARE
PLACED ON WHICH FABRIC IS TIED.

CAST IRON SUPPORTS.

 THIS IS ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES THAT CAN BE USED TO ERECT
PANDALS.HERE 650MM DEEP HOLE IS DUG IN THE GROUND AND CONCRETE LAYER OF
50MM IS LAID. 400MM*400MM SIZE STEEL PLATE IS RESTED ON THE CONCRETE LAYER . A
HOLLOW M.S.PIPE WITH A LID ON TOP IS PLACED ON THE STEEL PLATE .TAR IS APPLIED
FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE STEEL PIPE TO PREVENT RUSTING. MURUM IS FILLED
AROUND THE STEEL PIPE AND THE ROAD IS LEVELED THEN THE LID IS CLOSED.A
ROD(80MM) OR BAMBOO (100MM) CAN BE FIXED IN TO THE HOLLOW STEEL PIPE AND
PANDAL CAN BE CONSTRUCTED OVER IT.

STAGE
•PRE FABRICATED BOX
SECTIONS {30×60×90 cu.cm} OF
M.S. ARE USED AT THE BASE.
•THEY ARE KEPT AT A
DISTANCE OF 1.5 TO 2 m c/c.
•BAMBOOS, WOODEN PLANKS
& PLY IS USED OVER THE
SECTIONS.
 THE PREFABRICATED BOX
SECTIONS RESTING ON THE
GROUND ACT AS SUPPORT
FOR THE TIMBER
PLANKS.GENERALLY THE
HEIGHT IS 1M.

WODDEN RODS ARE TIED UP TO

THE BOX SECTIONS WITH
CHOIR ROPE.
 INTERIOR
•PLY CEILING & PLY BACKDROP IS USED FOR ACOUSTIC
PURPOSES.
•SYNTHETIC CARPET { Rs 8 TO 10 per sq. ft} AND JUTE MATTING {Rs
4 TO 5 per sq. ft} IS USED TO COVER THE GROUND.
•IF THE GROUND IS UNEVEN 12 mm PLY IS USED.
PRE FABRICATED PANDAL
ROYAL PARK
• TUBULAR TRUSSES COVER A SPAN RANGING FROM 40 TO 80 ft { 12
TO 24 m}.
•M.S. PIPES ARE USED AS POSTS.
•ALL THE FIXING IS DONE WITH NUTS & BOLTS.
•ALL THE SETUP COSTS ABOUT Rs 100 TO 200 per sq.ft.
 STORAGE

BAMBOO & WOODEN BULLIES ARE STORED IN GODOWNS OPEN TO

SKY .THEY ARE NOT AFFECTED BY CLIMATIC CONDITIONS.THEY
ARE MOSTLY STORED IN VERTICAL POSITION.
 TRANSPORT

BAMBOO OR METAL SECTIONS

ARE TIED WITH THE HELP OF
ROPES AND TRANSPORTED
THROUGH TRUCKS OR TEMPOS.
 COMPARISION
TRADITIONAL PRE FABRICATED

• USE FOR OCCATIONS •USE FOR GRAND

LIKE GANPATI,DURGA EVENTS LIKE
PUJA etc. EXIBITIONS AND
• FOR SMALL SPANS AND CORPORATIVE
LIMITED SPACE IS PURPOSES.
USED. •CAN SERVE LARGER
• INTERMIDIATE SPAN AND GREATER
SUPPORTS REQUIRED. SPACE IS USED.
• COMPARITIVELY •UNINTERRUPTED SPAN
CHEAPER. OBTAINED.
•COMPARITIVELY
COSTLY.
 CONCLUSION
• THE USE OF TEMPORARY STRUCTURE HAS SERVED THE
INTERMIDIATE NEEDS.
• ITS TAKES LESS TIME , LABOUR AND MONEY.
• NOWADAYS TRADITIONAL TYPE OF PANDALS IS GOING
OUT OF VOGUE DUE TO LACK OF SPACE ,SMALLER SPAN
AND ITS OTHER LIMITATIONS LIKE COST. PRE FABRICATED
BEING THE LATEST IS THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTED TO ALL
THE LOOPHOLES OF THE OLD TYPE.
THANK YOU.
