It is that time of the year again. The onset of “sharat kaal” signifies the homecoming of Maa Durga and brings with it the aura of festivity and celebration. The sounds of “Dhak”, the sway of the K(n)ash, the fragrance of “Dhuno”, the cirrus clouds and the presence of loved ones … that’s Durga Puja. And we are working hard to make this year’s Puja a memorable one for you.

This year, the Durga Puja will take place on  Oct 19, 20 and 21 at Pasadena Scottish Rite Cathedral at 150 North Madison Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101.

Laxmi Puja will take place on Oct 27th at the same location.

Besides the revelry and ritual associated with Durga Puja, the 3 days of festivity means sale of goods and wares worth thousands of dollars. Business owners, don’t miss this opportunity to show your products to 500 plus Bengali families. Rent a booth now. Contact Mitra Nag at mitra@bascweb.org
