If you have freshly arrived from Kolkata and missing Maddox Square then head straight to The Lokhandwala Sarbojanin Durgotsav popularly known as singer Abhijeet’s Durga Puja. This puja will make you forget the yearning. This year they have started the Puja on tritiya itself. The Mandap is still under construction but the Protima has arrived along with the Dhakis. Every year 20 dhakis comes from West Bengal who wear red uniforms and play the dhaks throughout the six days of puja. This puja has two separate pavilions for the shoppers and food lovers. The section exhibiting clothes and other consumer goods is known as “Amader Gariahat” named after the famous shopping street in Kolkata and the food section is known as “Pet Pujo”(gastronomy worship). The food section is managed by the speciality group of Mainland China, Sweet Bengal, Hakka fame. Singer Abhijeet supervises the puja himself. This is undoubtedly one of the best pujas in Mumbai.
