About 80 Durga Pujas were organized in different housing complexes in the area for the past many years. However, there was no community Durga Puja or Sarbojanin Durga Puja in the area. Understanding this, Newtown Sarbojanin Durgotsab Samiti announced the first Sarbojanin Durga Puja of New Town Sarbojanin.

The announcement ceremony and the logo launch saw the presence of Rituparna Sengupta, Mrs. Urmila Sen, President, New Town Sarbojanin, artist Prasanta Pal, Samaresh Das, Secretary, New Town Sarbojanin, and others.

The logo has been designed by renowned artist Shuvaprasanna.

The theme of the Durga Puja will be “Nari Shaktir Jagoron”.

The puja will be organized at City Square in New Town.

Mrs. Urmila Sen said “The Durga Puja of Park Circus Maidan is the inspiration for the fair that will be organized at New Town Sarbojanin. The adda sessions of Maddox Square which is so famous will be the inspiration behind the adda zone that will be made in this Durga Puja. There will be more than one adda zones”.

Rituparna Sengupta said “When we were growing up, Sarbojanin Durga Puja was the norm of the day. But with the passing of time, different formats of Durga Puja have come up. However, this initiative of New Town Sarbojanin Durgotsab Samiti is a great way of bringing together people from different walks of life”.

The Khuti Pujo of New Town Sarbojonin will be on 13^th July.
