Our members are actively involved in serving the Bhog. These few days are days of bonding and celebrations amongst all of us, along with getting an opportunity to wear traditional attire .It is a Sarbojanin puja so all are welcome to be a part of this family."

It's an occasion where family comes together and celebrate festival. We have an AC pandal which is one of the largest pandal in Mumbai. We welcome each & everyone with open arms to seek the blessings of Maa"
It is the only time of the year when the bengali’s in Mumbai switch on to their traditional mode. The festival of Durga Puja is colored with devotional zeal, mythological legends, detailed rituals, extravagant pandals and magnificent tableaus of the divine Mother Goddess coming with her children Ganesh, Kartik, Lakshmi and Saraswati from Kailash to Dharti (her parent's home). As the festival of Maa Durga is approaching, Sharbani Mukherji and Bappa Lahiri brings one of the oldest and the biggest Durga Puja- North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Samiti 2016 in Mumbai to seek the blessings of Maa Durga.
This year Mrs. Paromita Sarkar has taken an innovative step towards protecting our environment and invented eco-friendly packaging for the prashad distributed to all devotees at the puja. The prashad will be packed in pouches made of BASF’s 100% compostable polymer. This innovative polymer is certified compostable according to all global standards and is therefore biodegradable and partly bio-based. This polymer from BASF bio-degrades completely when composted in a controlled environment, thus turning the waste into valuable compost.
