With all year round busy with our work life, we Bengali’s wait for the four day festival Durga Puja. Durga Puja is an eccentric part of every Bengali people. Lots of childhood memories are attached with this Durga Puja. We have our ancestral house at “Kheyadaha” which is a place outskirts of the busy Kolkata at south 24 Parganas. Our family may be regarded as “Ekkanoborti Poribar” which means a “Joint Family”. For the entire year we may be busy with our daily life and be scattered here and there. But for this puja time we all try to unite and enjoy to the fullest.

Durga Puja at Kheydaya – Our Ancestral House
Debojyoti Naskar
With all year round busy with our work life, we Bengali’s wait for the four day festival Durga Puja. Durga Puja is an
eccentric part of every Bengali people. Lots of childhood memories are attached with this Durga Puja. We have our
ancestral house at “Kheyadaha” which is a place outskirts of the busy Kolkata at south 24 Parganas.
Our family may be regarded as “ Ekkanoborti Poribar” which means a “ Joint Family”. For the entire year we may be
busy with our daily life and be scattered here and there. But for this puja time we all try to unite and enjoy to the
fullest.
Our ancestral house
has a rich heritage.
It’s almost around
150 years old.
During puja the
“Natmandir” gets a
new look. For four
consecutive days i.e.
“Natmandir”- The place where Goddess Durga is kept and offered Puja
‘Sasthi’,’Saptami’,’Astami’,’Navami’ and ‘Dashami’ we offer puja to Goddess Durga. People from distant villages
come to our ancestral house for offering puja or “Anjali” as this is the only place where Durga Puja is being
organised.
“Kheyadaha” is a
place filled with
greenery where
not much of
development or
people stay over
here. People lead
a simple life here
and with pride
they do so. At the
end of the fourth
day of the Puja
i.e. “Dashami”,
“Ma Durga”
returns to his
beloved husband
with her children.
Goddess Durga
We bid “Ma Durga” goodbye with “ Shindur Khela” and wait for the next year for the puja- “ASCHEY BOCHOR
