🏛️ Bonedi Barir Pujo — Heritage
Baghbazar Haldar Bari er Pujo
About this pujo
Opposite the Gouriya Math — the Haldar family's touchstone Mahisasuramardini idol, worshipped daily, not just during Puja.
This is one of Kolkata's bonedi bari (aristocratic household) Durga Pujas — celebrated privately inside a family thakurdalan rather than a public pandal. Visitors are welcome during the puja days; dress conservatively and ask permission before photographing family members.
Planning your visit
Durga Puja 2026 runs from Maha Shashthi (Oct 17) through Vijaya Dashami (Oct 21). Bonedi bari pujas follow their own ritual timings — early morning or late afternoon is usually best to avoid crowds. Check the helpline numbers before you head out.
