About Durga Puja

Durga Puja is the heart of the Bengali year. Over five days — from Shashthi to Bijoya Dashami — we welcome Maa Durga and her children with prayers, pushpanjali, sandhi puja and arati.

Evenings are filled with dhunuchi naach, music, dance and cultural programmes, and everyone shares bhog together. On Bijoya Dashami, married women play sindoor khela before we bid Maa farewell until next year.
