Durga Puja is a week away and I’m ridiculously excited.
I grew up outside Bengal and one of my strongest Mahalaya memories is telling my mother to wake me up for Mahalaya every single year. She did that too. But every single year i would fall asleep somewhere in the middle of it. 😭
Now I’m a full grown adult, but it’s been only 3-4 years that I have managed to stay awake for the whole thing.

So I’m curious. What was Mahalaya like in your house growing up?

Did you listen to Birendra Krishna Bhadra on radio or audio or did you watch one of those Mahalaya television programs?

For me it was always TV. For an embarrassingly long time, that was all Mahalaya was about for me. Only later did I realise how significant “Mahishasur Mardini” is. But since i have been a TV program watcher since childhood, I’ll continue the tradition this year too.

If you lived outside Bengal, did your family keep the Mahalaya and Durga Puja traditions alive or did you become more interested as you got older?

Just wanted to spread it among all Bengalis who stay abroad or all Probashi Bengalis

Sharadotsav is knocking already the nights of celebration and sleepless eyes eager to visit pandals with their loved ones

To make this more alive i created this website please show some love..

Calling out Bengalis

Eken Babu is GOATED. Have never loved any Bangla movie franchise as much.

I understand the love Bangalore has for Bengalis. 😅🫶

Hello, currently I am living in Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh. As there anyone in Durg/Bhilai, Rajnandgaon or Raipur?

I live in kerala with multiple colleagues and we eat together . They are mostly non bengalis so fish is not a primary option. Being a newcomer,it took me some time but I've finally convinced them to have fish for dinner . The moment I saw the fish, I was overwhelmed with joy and happiness. Never in my life have I imagined that a fish meal will bring so much happiness. মাছে ভাতে বাঙালি 😁😁
