Saptami is the official beginning of Durga Puja. Mumbai this day saw crowds in most puja pandals. As this year there is one day less in the festivities people didn’t waste any day and thronged the pandals.
Our first stop on Saptami was Manish Nagar Durga Puja in Four Bunglows Andheri. The Protima here was daker saaj.
Our next stop was Juhu Philanthropic Associations’ puja in JVPD scheme Juhu opposite Arya Vidya Mandir School. Their Pandal decoration replicates the terracotta theme of Bengal and the protima again is daker saaj.
Our Third stop was Juhu Cultural Associations Puja near Shopper’s Stop Juhu. They organise it inside a club. It is small puja restricted to its members alone.
Fourth puja was Biswajeet’s puja. They have shifted their venue and this year they held it opposite Amitabh Bacchan’s Bunglow Janak. They have taken up the theme of gram bangla or rural Bengal. The protima is daker saaj but the faces of the idols are jet black making it unique.
The last stop was North Bombay Bengali Association or Mukherjee barir pujo at Tulip Star hotel Juhu. This is one of the grandest puja in Mumbai. This year they had replicated the ISCKON temple of Mayapur. This place was crowded than all the other pandals with food stalls making brisk business.
Very good website, thank you.
