Questions people ask

Where are the public toilets during pandal hopping in Kolkata?
34 are pinned on this site: KMC pay-and-use toilets and Sulabh complexes on the main roads, toilets inside metro stations (paid area), and toilets in parks, markets and petrol pumps near the pandal circuits. The planner points out the ones within about 220 m of your walk, toilets first, because people will detour for them.
Do metro stations in Kolkata have toilets?
Yes, inside the paid area of most stations, which is one reason to start and end a pandal route at the metro. They close with the last train.
Do pandals have toilets?
The big pujas set up bio-toilets for the Puja days, usually along the exit lane, and the police help desks know where they are; smaller pujas do not. None of these temporary toilets are pinned here because they move each year; the pins below are the permanent ones.
How much do pay-and-use toilets cost?
A few rupees, typically Rs 2 to Rs 10 depending on the facility and use; carry coins or small notes, and UPI often works at Sulabh complexes.
