Update: This post is Google’s favourite when you search for “Durga Puja in Bangalore“. The post was written 2 years back but is still as relevant as ever. Recently, I’ve joined hands with Sudeshna in launching Durga Puja Food Festival. Just send in a Puja recipe and if your entry is selected, you will be featured in a Puja Barshiki eBook and may even win a Prize. Here’s the event competition announcement.
Here are a few places I would (and you could, too) visit in Bangalore this Durga Puja.
Koramangala
If you come from FORUM Towards National Games Village , after crossing Raheja Archade , Bangaliana just in front of the AIRTEL office, you will fing this Puja on your left side. For junta coming from SONY WORLD crossing, come straight towards National Games Village and take a left turn before BLUE SPICE Restaurant, come straight on the right hand side and you will find this pandal . Thanks Sudeshna for her mail.
Murugeshpalya (Air Force Campus)
From Airport Road goto Wind Tunnel Road. If you are coming from Indiranagar direction, you have to take a right turn when you encounter a Pizza Hut on the right side of Airport Road after you pass Diamond District, Britannia, IBM and you will find Wind Tunnel road. There is an Air Force Campus to your right in the Wind Tunnel Road. It is a small puja, but homely nevertheless.
Jayamahal
Famous and big Puja. It is 53 years and counting. You’d never want to miss it. Here’s its blog.
Ulsoor Lake
Near Ulsoor Lake, opposite Ajanta Talkies there is Exhibition Ground. This puja is organised by Bengalee Association.
Indiranagar- Cambridge Layout
Again a big puja and great cultural programs. From Sai Mandir towards ESI Hospital. Please ask for directions there.
Its my first time in Bangalore during Puja. Let me see what this city has to offer.
Ahh the pleasures of meeting fellow Bengalis and celebrating “Sharodiyo Utsab”
Another nice homely pujo was at South Bangalore Cultural Association in Bannerghata Road in a Kalyana Mantapa near to the Mandovi Motors – Maruti showroom.
Very nice and big crowds.
Let me know where are the Kali Pujas organised in Bangalore.
Shubho Bijoya to all everywhere around the world.
Punaragomonaya Ch:
@Sudipta: Yes, and you have that extra ‘feel good’ factor when you meet so many Bongs in sarees and paanjaabis in areas 1000 of kms from Bengal.
@Arup: Oh, missed that dude. Maybe next time. About Kali Puja, yes I will aggregate that info here. Keep watching this space.
Hey Kalyan
Shubho Bijoya and Thanks for dropping by my blog 🙂
I stayed in B’lore for 2 years but at that time Koramangala had no Durga Pujo. Remember going to Ulsoor though.
This time Ulsoor had a good “khabar stall” it seems. So which Pujo did you like best
I used to live in national games complex.
Hi
I will be here in Bangalore for the first time during Durga Puja .
But still don’t know about the places.
Lets see.
Happy durga puja in advance.

Tripura Mondoli Bangalore is proudly hosting Saraswati Puja on 31st Jan’09.
Goddess Saraswati is represented as a graceful woman in white, a symbol of purity and peace. She is the Goddess who signifies knowledge, learning, arts and culture. She is seen as the serene Goddess wearing a crescent moon on her brow riding a swan or seated on a lotus flower. Saraswati Puja is performed to pay allegiance to the Goddess of learning.
The Mythology
In the Vedas, Goddess Saraswati is refered as the water deity and is revered for her purifying and enriching powers. The Goddess of knowledge and learning is said to have invented Sanskrit, the language of the Brahmins, of scriptures and scholars. It is also believed that it was Goddess Saraswati who discovered ‘amrit’ in the Himalayas and brought it to the other gods. She was said to be identical with Viraj being created out of the substance of Purusha or Prajapati and thus is the instrument of creation. As Brahma’s wife, she provides the power to execute what Brahma conceives with his creative intelligence. She is the goddess of all the creative arts and in particular of poetry and music, learning and science.

We at Bokaro Steel City are arranging and celebrating Durgotsav at Bokaro Kalibari since 2005 ; Banga Bharti is Organising Durgapuja since 1967. Bokaro Kalibari is celebrating Kali Puja, from day one, 27 th October, 1981. Bhakti, Sangathan ( Team Building) , Sarbajanin karyakram, Punctuality keeps the Flag high and above all ‘ Maayer Ashirvad ‘. My son and Daughter have shifted to Bangalore in March 2011, I am eager to pray on my first visit.
Once we enter the Puja Mandop we feel as if we are in our home town only. Really it is pleasure seeing so many Bengali’s together in Bangalore. Thanks to the Puja committee for organizing it.
