Kumartuli Park Sarbojanin Durga Puja 2026
Kumartuli Park Sarbojanin is a well-known puja in Kumartuli, part of the Bagbazar – Kumartuli – Ahiritola pandal hopping circuit in north Kolkata (also searched as Kumartuli Park, Kumortuli Park). It is a theme puja: expect an art installation or themed pandal, lighting and a crowd that comes for the spectacle, with heavy crowds on Puja evenings. 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.
Durga Puja 2026 runs Saturday 17 to Wednesday 21 October. This page is the Kumartuli Park Sarbojanin entry in the Kolkata pandal list 2026; the Bagbazar – Kumartuli – Ahiritola pandal hopping route puts it in walking order with its neighbours.
