Kashi Bose Lane Sarbojanin is a well-known puja in Hedua, part of the Shobhabazar – Hatibagan pandal hopping circuit in north Kolkata (also searched as Kashi Bose Lane Sarbojanin, Kashi Bose Lane Durga Puja Committee).

The committee announces its 2026 theme shortly before Puja; this page does not repeat unconfirmed themes and covers the practical side: the nearest metro station, the queue, and the walk to the next pandal.
