Being denied participation in another local puja committee way back in 1965, the members of this organisation took the initiative to start off their own. Today this is among the top 10 Durga Pujas of Calcutta. |
In 1991, they erected the replica of the Senate House of Washington, US, which eventually received a letter of appreciation from the Senate House itself. |
This year they have put up a gorgeous mandap wonderfully decorated with coloured rice beads. The illuminations focus on the developmental activities in rural India, the US missile attack in Sudan and Afghanistan, and Godzilla among others. |
One of the star performers of this years cultural evenings is Smt Nirmala Mishra, a renowned Bengali singer (modern songs) from Calcutta. The committee also distributes over 10,000 new clothes to the needy, downtroddens of the society. |
