A better way to move through Pujo

Less backtracking. More of the good part.

Everything here is built around one evening on foot, in a city that does not slow down for you.

Pandals on a searchable mapA city map with a search bar, filter chips, grouped pandal markers and one highlighted pandal.

Find

Every pandal, on one map

187 pandals across 8 districts, grouped so the busiest lanes stay readable. Search for one, then open it to see what you are walking into.

  • Search pandals, metro stations and public toilets from a single field
  • Markers gather together where pandals sit close, so nothing hides behind a pin
  • Each pandal shows its nearest metro, the walk from it, and one-tap directions
  • Turn on location and the nearest pandals are listed in order of distance

Plan

A route that makes sense on foot

Give it your area, your starting point and the hours you actually have. You get stops in a sensible order with arrival times, not a list you still have to solve yourself.

  • Or build it by hand: add pandals from the map and reorder them in a tap
  • Shorten the walking once your stops are chosen, without losing any of them
  • Save plans to your account and reopen them exactly as you left them
  • Export the evening as a PDF, or share it as a message

Decide

See the queue before you join it

The people already standing there tell you what it is like. Crowd level and rain, reported by visitors at the pandal rather than guessed at.

  • Crowd rated from one to ten, with the current rain status beside it
  • Reports stay valid for thirty minutes, then quietly expire
  • A report can only be sent from within 500 metres, so it reflects the real queue
  • Your name is never attached to anything you report
Check live conditions

Together

Stay together when you split up

Pandal hopping rarely stays one neat group. Share a live map with the people you came with, for exactly as long as you want to.

  • Groups of up to 8, joined with a short code or a QR
  • Everyone sees each other while the group map is open
  • Choose how long you share for, pause it, or clear your last position
  • Battery and speed stay hidden if you would rather not show them

Visitor photos, reviewed before they appearOverlapping photo frames of a pandal, an approval tick, and a badge showing location data removed.

Look

See what you are choosing between

This is the most photographed fortnight in the city. Photos from visitors show you the pandal as it is this year, not a stock picture of a different one.

  • The newest approved photo becomes that pandal's cover on the map and lists
  • Every photo is checked by a moderator before anyone else sees it
  • Location details are stripped from the file on your phone before it uploads
  • Report anything that does not belong, and delete your own photos at any time

Maps saved to the phoneA phone showing a downloaded map route, beside a crossed-out cloud meaning no connection is needed.

Offline

Works when the network does not

At nine at night, in a crowd of thousands, the network is the first thing to go. The map you saved keeps working anyway.

  • Save the map along your route to the phone before you set off
  • Saved plans, your route and your preferences stay readable with no signal
  • Anything you change offline syncs by itself once you are back
