I live in India. we have a lot of glorified activities. Pujas is one of them. It is a ritual ceremonies by Hindus for celebrating auspicious occasions also, the birthdays of our Gods.
I have seen Pujas since my childhood, of which I instinctively like is the exclusive food, new purchases, holidays, gathering, decorations, etc... basically delight for all our senses.
We have Pujas being held by a lot of societies, clubs, mandals which are at a localized areas. This ecstasy of enjoyment is unknown and unparallel. Pujas held in the teeming cities have become equally inaccessible therefore making it locally accommodated.
Puja pandals are established in nooks and crannies of the City which makes it less likely to be reached. Since, due to scarcity of land, majority of the road is taken for the exhibit. The overwhelming traffic on the constant sized roads becomes unmanageable. The peace is lost for the residents nearby primarily due to the dense traffic, honking, Puja melody all in a cocktail.
Therefore, I have a little idea about the Pujas being made a little better and optimized.
If all the bigger Pujas are combinedly celebrated in a common place viz. large ground across the city or stadiums which host fairs then we can have a much managed approach. There will be no hurdle to the traffic during the auspicious period. Each of us will be able to reach the known locations where the Pujas are placed together making an enthralling atmosphere with a lot of lights, decorations and exhibits in vivid colors. A safe and clean arrangement of parking for the people who visit will enliven the atmosphere. Women and kids will have a lot of activities from the funfair around. Men can still find something for them ;) .
I wish the Pujas become more intuitive, intelligent and adapt new methods of environment friendly techniques as we celebrate with more love, respect, devotion, energy, pompousness, discipline etc. that makes us feel Humans.

For Ganpati pandals, this is a superb idea. It is especially good for children as they can see lot of variety in one place.
