Durga Puja is celebrated in the month of Ashwin. Goddess Durga's devotees are excitedly anticipating this Navratri. At Durga puja, when people view many idols, pandal hopping is a common practice. Due to their migration across the nation, Bengalis have begun to celebrate their customs in other locations. One city that has the same Puja atmosphere is Delhi; you'll think you've arrived in a little version of Kolkata.
1. Mela Ground, C.R. Park
Recalling the communal spirit of West Bengal, the Mela Ground Puja in C.R. Park is well known for its customary celebration. You may hear the essential instruments of Durga Puja, the dhakis and conch shells.
2. Kashmiri Gate
Since the Kashmiri Gate Durga puja pandal is the oldest in the city, you should definitely visit it. The Bengali Senior Sec School on Alipur Road is where the puja is held. It has been around for more than a century, having begun as a community puja or "baroyari" in 1910.
3. Kali Badi, Mayur Vihar
Visit the Kali Badi Durga Puja at Mayur Vihar, Delhi, as it is a popular pandal that draws crowds with its famous afternoon bhog. Here annual pujas are organised with theme, lavish feasts, and a range of cultural events.
4. Chittaranjan Park Kalibari
Celebrity visits and crowds of people during Durga Puja are closely associated with C.R. Park Kalibari. An lively atmosphere is guaranteed by the organising committee, which offers a variety of events that heighten the celebration along with new themes every year.
5. Minto Road Puja Samity
The Minto Road Puja Samity was founded in 1940 and is known for its emphasis on tradition, which is shown in the exquisitely made idols and the straightforward yet significant pandal. Throughout the Durga Puja evenings, the committee hosts cultural events.
