Courtesy: 4to40.com

Please comment if you know that the location/address is wrong or Durga Puja is not being organized at certain place.

Bongs have invaded Bangalore in big way. The evidence is more than 40 puja pandals scattered throughout Bangalore.
This is an effort to consolidate information available online about the Durga Puja celebrations happening across the city so as to give more opportunity for lazy bongs to hang around.

  3. It is a great news for people of Bengal working or settled at Bangalore.

    The figure as shown indicate on bengali speaking population at Bangalore.

    In view of above, it is proposed to the leaders of all the committees to consider for construction of a Kali Bari with all facilities at some Central location.

    The great Bengali Association may take the lead and form a confederation, where President and General Secretary of all the committees will be members.

    I do wish for fulfillmentof this dream in a short period of time.

    1. Hello Dr. Debnath, This is a great idea. We have only 1 Kalibari in Bangalore and that is at KR Puram (inside an lil interior area). Having one at a centrally located place would be really good..
