The Devi's idol here is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful ones in Cuttack. Two years ago, the Goddess was embellished with an ornate gold crown weighing 5 kg at a cost of Rs 1 crore, while the puja committee already installed a silver backdrop in 2004. Heavy silver jewellery of the deity complements her crown as She is dressed up as a Warrior Goddess. The design of the backdrop is also different from other pandals as it depicts peacocks dancing around a temple housing the nine forms of Goddess Durga along with elements of nature. Beneath the backdrop, there are figurines of dancing women and meenakari has been used to decorate them. Intricate traditional filigree work has been used by artisans of Cuttack to prepare the backdrop. It is said that the puja at Ranihat was started a century back by a group of traders.
