Mudiali Club Durga Puja 2026
Mudiali Club is one of the city's headline pujas in Lake Market, part of the Lake Road – Rashbehari – Kalighat pandal hopping circuit in south Kolkata (also searched as Mudiali, Mudiali Club Durga Puja). It is a theme puja: expect an art installation or themed pandal, lighting and a crowd that comes for the spectacle, with very 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 Mudiali Club entry in the Kolkata pandal list 2026; the Lake Road – Rashbehari – Kalighat pandal hopping route puts it in walking order with its neighbours.
