Durga pujas (silver jubilee)

Organised by Bangiya Sanskritik Pariseba - Mayur Vihar - III


The tradition of community  in the Capital gathered momentum when the capital of the British Raj shifted from Kolkata to Delhi in 1911 and employees of various government offices moved en masse to the city with their families.

A little before that, Bengalis who had settled around Kashmere Gate gave birth to the eponymous Durga Puja that turns 100 this year. The employees of the Government of India Press, which had shifted from Kolkata to New Delhi, were behind the Minto Road Durga Puja, which has entered its 71st year.

Another major cultural hub that developed in the early years was the New Delhi Kali Bari on Mandir Marg, whose Durga Puja draws Bengalis from all over India. Other prominent Durga pujas dating back to the pre-Independence years are Timarpur and the Karol Bagh Bangiya Samsad.
