Durga Puja

About Us

Durga Puja is not simply about celebrations and feasting. It is about the triumph of truth over false and right over wrong. Durga Puja is about sustaining the mass believe of emergence of an almighty savior whenever evil tries to take over the goodness in the universe. So, the Puja is much beyond the glamour and glitter of pandals and the grandeur of the celebrations.

Durga Puja is an important socio-cultural annual religious festival from ancient times by worshipping goddess Durga and celebrating her victory over the mythological demon Mahishasura. Hindu scriptures depict goddess Durga as a warrior goddess carrying different weapons in her ten arms and riding on a lion. Her appearance is also interpreted as an embodiment of feminine power in Indian culture and society. Bengali celebrate this festival as Sharodotsav (autumn festival) or Sharadiya Durga Puja. It is their biggest religious festival which, they celebrate with great excitement and fanfare.

Theme-based puja pandals with floral decorations are installed by following rituals and customs to welcome goddess Durga and also to mark the celebration with uniqueness. A bonanza of culture and modern entertainment can also be seen in this festival.

Fancy and magnificent clay idols of goddess which are crafted and painted with colours are the major attraction of the festival. As a part of the event and to add colour to the festival, Durga Puja committees organise various competitions and fun filled activities with exciting prizes. Mouthwatering cuisines, sweets and dishes are an integral part of this celebration. After ten days, the mega festival of Durga Puja comes to an end with the immersion of the idol into a river or a water body. Ardent devotees take out processions of the idols for immersion amid loud religious chants.

We would like to take this opportunity to inform about the Corporates who supported us in our endeavour of successfully organising Durga Puja in the past years and expect their support in the years to come.

Durga (Devi) is synonymous with Shakti or the Divine Power that manifests, sustains and transforms the universe as the one unifying Force of Existence.Shakti is the very possibility of the Absolute’s appearing as many, of God’s causing this universe. God creates this world through Srishti-Shakti (creative power), preserves through Sthiti-Shakti (preservative power), and destroys through Samhara-Shakti (destructive power). Shakti and Shakta are one; the power and the one who possesses the power cannot be separated; God and Shakti are like fire and heat of fire.”
