1. AGOMONI Celebration With Maac Kolkata 2018
The city of joy again fills up with the traditional smell of ‘Chatim Phool’ and ‘Siuli Phool’ and so does
MAAC Kolkata i.e. MAAC Chowringhee, MAAC Ultadanga and MAAC Rashbehari
We MAAC Kolkata team members, since more than last two months, had tightened up our belts for the
most awaited and Mega event “AGOMONI” 2018.
This year also the tradition continues, and the charm is at its fullest.
Like the every year MAAC Chowringhee, MAAC Ultadanga and MAAC Rashbehari organized AGOMONI
program at their respective centers.
If you have the question in your mind that why do we celebrate Agomoni, Or what actually happens
during Agomoni, then hold your breath while we take you down the memory lane and tell you what
AGOMONI is all about.
What is actually AGOMONI 2018 and how MAAC Kolkata team celebrates this?
MAA DURGA, along with her three children - Godess Lakshmi, Godess Saraswati, Lord Kartik and Lord
Ganesh, comes to her father’s home every year during Navratra time.
It is said that every year during this time, MAA DURGA comes from Mount Kailash along with her four
children to spend some times with her father Giriraj.
Welcoming MAA DURGA during her arrival is basically what AGOMONI means and is all about.

2. Every year these particular days are celebrated as ‘Durga Pujas’ in Bengal.
At MAAC Kolkata we also follow the same tradition of welcoming MAA DURGA, and alongside an Art and
Craft exhibition is organized where all our students participate by exhibiting their creations in different
art forms.
On the auspicious occasion of Mahalaya or after Mahalaya, we celebrate Agomoni at our three
renowned centers.

darkness.
LIGHTS…represents hope….possibilities…. In the story, the king of ghost gave three boons to two friends
who had lost all hope, similarly praying to the idol of MAA Durga also gives us three boons of health,
wealth and prosperity.
The centre tried to create the ambience of the path from darkness to enlightenment. The sound and
light effects was perfectly blended with paintings and other art work displayed there.
