The 18-foot-tall idol, crafted by artisans from West Bengal, will be a distinctive masterpiece
Sonnar Bangla Association organizes its 4th annual Sarbojonin Durga Utsav at Omaxe World Street, a grand celebration that will continue until October 13, 2024, at World Street, Faridabad. With the 18-foot idol of Goddess Durga handcrafted by artisans from Kolkata, the event is set to draw large crowds, with over 15,000 attendees expected daily, following last year’s tremendous success.
This year’s theme is the Dakshineswar Kali Temple, bringing a first-of-its-kind experience to Delhi NCR. Dakshineswar Kali Temple, located on the eastern bank of the Hooghly River in West Bengal, was built in 1855 by philanthropist Rani Rashmoni. The temple, devoted to Goddess Bhavatarini (a form of Kali), is associated with the renowned mystics Ramakrishna and Ma Sarada Devi. The replication of this iconic temple at the Durga Utsav brings a unique cultural and spiritual experience to attendees.
The event features daily rituals, including Pushpanjali at 10:30 AM and Sandhya Arti at 7:00 PM, followed by captivating cultural programs from 8:00 PM by artists coming from West Bengal. A community feast (Bhandara) will be served every afternoon. Notably, this year’s celebration will also showcase performances by renowned artists from West Bengal.
Mr. Jatin Goel, Executive Director of Omaxe Group, shared his enthusiasm, stating, “World Street is known for celebrating every festival with full energy and vigor. We warmly welcome everyone to join in worshipping Goddess Durga, a symbol of protection, strength, and the victory of good over evil. This Durga Utsav is a powerful reminder of the triumph of peace and prosperity. At this event, attendees can immerse themselves in the celebration of Durga Puja while also enjoying a shopping experience. Additionally, there will be numerous food stalls offering a variety of delicious dishes, allowing visitors to indulge in their favorite flavors.”
Mr. Goel added, “Omaxe World Street showcases a variety of global cultures but consistently leads in promoting our own heritage. Our goal is to carry forward our culture, making it renowned worldwide, while ensuring that future generations can appreciate and connect with it.”
With the much-anticipated Durga Puja celebrations about to commence at Omaxe World Street, the excitement is just beginning. Following this grand event, Omaxe World Street will host lively Dussehra and Diwali Carnival festivities, drawing large crowds and creating a vibrant, festive atmosphere. With this thrilling lineup, Omaxe World Street is set to be the ultimate destination for shoppers and families alike.
The 2024 Sarbojonin Durga Utsav promises a blend of devotion, tradition, and culture, creating an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
