Every autumn, when the rhythm of dhaak fills the air and the fragrance of shiuli blossoms announces the arrival of Durga Puja, Delhi’s Chittaranjan Park transforms into a living postcard of Bengal. This South Delhi neighbourhood is the closest one can get to the grandeur of Kolkata’s celebrations without leaving the capital. Here, devotion and nostalgia come together in dazzling pandals, cultural programmes, and streets buzzing with festive adda.

This year marks a milestone moment for CR Park, as three of its biggest Pujas – Cooperative Ground, B Block, and Mela Ground – step into their 50th year. Each pandal is readying itself with grand themes that promise to draw massive crowds.
