Our inception at Maddox Square, the epicenter of cultural festivities, taught us the invaluable blend of heritage and modernity. It's this fusion that drives us, propelling our endeavors to transform the ephemeral beauty of Pujo mandaps into lasting legacies.

Preserving culture
We Bengalis are incomplete without our Durga Pujo. Our most significant and celebrated festival, an event deeply embedded in the fabric of Bengali society. The festival is not just a religious affair; it holds immense cultural significance for the Bengali community. Durga Puja serves as a time for homecoming, as many Bengalis living away from their hometowns return to celebrate with their families. It fosters a sense of unity, joy, and camaraderie among people from all walks of life, irrespective of social or economic backgrounds.
In the face of rapid urbanization and globalization, we are putting in the effort to preserve Bengal's most important cultural heritage . We are supporting artisan communities, cultural organizations, and the Environment to protect the essence of Durga Puja and Bengal's broader cultural identity.

our cause
1
preserving heritage
Preserving the heritage of Durga Puja is of utmost importance to safeguard the rich cultural traditions, rituals, and artistic expressions associated with this iconic festival. Durga Puja, celebrated with immense fervor and enthusiasm primarily in Bengal and other parts of India, holds profound significance in the hearts of millions, transcending religious boundaries to become a symbol of communal harmony and cultural unity.
2
preserving environment
Preserving the environment during Durga Puja is a crucial responsibility that complements the celebration's cultural significance. The use of environmentally unfriendly materials, and non-biodegradable decorations, can have adverse effects on the surroundings and contribute to pollution. By adopting eco-friendly practices, Durga Puja organizers and participants can ensure a sustainable and greener celebration while still honoring the festival's traditions.

Preserving tradition
By incorporating traditional artworks into the pandal decorations, we not only showcase the talent and creativity of local craftsmen but also reinforces the traditional identity and artistic legacy of Bengal. Not only will this enrich the overall aesthetic of the pandals, but it will also contribute to the livelihoods and well-being of local artists and artisans, ensuring that these invaluable art forms continue to thrive for generations to come.
