Ma Durga is Coming Home
Bengalees of New England invites you to Durgotsav 2026
When
October 17 & 18, 2026
Saturday & Sunday
Join us for two unforgettable days of devotion, cherished traditions, sumptuous Bengali cuisine, inspiring cultural performances, and the warmth of community as we gather to welcome Ma Durga into our hearts and homes.
At BNE, we’re proud of our warm, gharowa atmosphere. For us, Durga Puja is more than a celebration — it’s a homecoming. A chance to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and grow closer as a community, with the sacred Puja always at its heart.
We’re deeply grateful to our priest, Shri Arindam Chattopadhyay, whose devotion makes every Puja a truly spiritual experience. Don’t miss the moving Sandhi Puja on Sunday, October 18th — one of the most powerful and unforgettable moments of the festival.
Come be part of the magic ✨
