Rajdanga Naba Uday Sangha Durga Puja 2026

Rajdanga Naba Uday Sangha is a well-known puja in Rajdanga / Kasba, part of the Gariahat – Ballygunge pandal hopping circuit in south Kolkata. 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 Rajdanga Naba Uday Sangha entry in the Kolkata pandal list 2026; the Gariahat – Ballygunge pandal hopping route puts it in walking order with its neighbours.
