The pandal grew larger, and cultural programs flourished, featuring traditional Bengali dances, music, and art performances. The community came together to share in the joy, and the celebration became an integral part of our city's cultural calendar.

Beyond the festivities, our Durga Puja committee has been committed to serving the community. Food distribution, medical camps, and charity initiatives have become an essential aspect of our celebration. We've also welcomed cultural exchange programs, showcasing the rich heritage of our community to a broader audience.
