We have been following the traditions set by our elders from generation to  generation. Our puja is well known as a "GHARUA PUJA" which means all are welcome to become a part of our puja family... we believe in serving Bhog to all who come to seek blessings of Maa Durga. 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."

          Bappa Lahiri says “Durga Puja is one of the most important festivals of Bengal. It's a tradition we are following since years, and being the third generation in my family, I am continuing the legacy. 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.

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.
