ABOUT OUR TRADITION-

When we listen to Birendra Krishna Bharda's baritone voice on the dawn of Mahalaya , we become ecstatic. The charm of this autumnal festivity is like a healing balm, the pull is magnetic. Ma Durga coming to her Baaperbari with her four children Laxmi, Saraswati, Ganesh, Kartick is celebrated with huge pomp and show . These five days seem to pass so fast , the urge to see the maximum number of Durga thakurs and Pandals overpower us .

ABOUT KOLKATA DURING PUJA-

Traditional Pujo, Theme Pujo, Parar Pujo , the list is never ending, time period is short and to cover most of the Durga Pujos appear to be the biggest challenge of the moment. Besides, there are some must see Durga Pujos , they might be Traditional in its approach but their fame and grandeur remain unsurpassable . One of the most noteworthy Durga Pujo in South Kolkata is Singhi Park Sarbojanin Durga Pujo .In the early years, the Durga Pujo was financed exclusively by the organizers, no subscription was collected from the local people. At that time, the Puja occurred in an under developed area called Singhi Park owned by the Singhi family ,and also DURGA PUJA of Suruchi Sangha, Mahammad Ali Park.................
