Sreebhumi Sporting Club Durga Puja 2026
Sreebhumi Sporting Club is one of the city's headline pujas in Sreebhumi (Lake Town), part of the Lake Town – Sreebhumi – Dum Dum Park pandal hopping circuit in north Kolkata (also searched as Shreebhumi Sporting Club, Sree Bhumi, Sreebhumi Durga Puja, Sreebhumi Lake Town). 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 Sreebhumi Sporting Club entry in the Kolkata pandal list 2026; the Lake Town – Sreebhumi – Dum Dum Park pandal hopping route puts it in walking order with its neighbours.
