Mela Ground, Chittaranjan Park |
Location Mela Ground, Chittaranjan Park Organised By President General Secretary Treasurer |
Started in 1976 under the auspicious patronage of Shri K.R. Sinha, Shri L.B. Bhowmick and Shri Naren Roy, today this is one of the biggest Durga Pujas in New Delhi. |
The main attraction of this puja is its traditional approach. And, of course, the aplenty "bhog prasad" for one and all -- going beyond the barriers of cast and creed -- during all the four puja days. Special arrangements are made for the senior citizens. |
A major attraction is a variety of cultural competitions that start a week before the Pujas. A good number of participants -- from two-year-young kids up to 50-year-old veterans -- compete in these contests. |
The list includes poems, poetries, modern Bengali songs, Rabindra sangeet, sit and draw, cooking, conch blowing, musical chair, sports and even a football kicking contest for 40-plus veterans. |
During the puja days the Mela Ground turns into a crowd-packed fair with lots of gizmos and resources of amusement. |
