Puja Schedule

Jagadhatri Puja, an esteemed festival in certain regions, extends across five joyous days, commencing from Sasthi and culminating on Dashami. The main observance traditionally takes place on the seventh day of the festivities. Much akin to the grandeur of Kolkata's revered Durga Puja and Barasat's revered Kali Puja, Chandannagar stands out for its opulent celebrations and cultural exuberance during the Jagadhatri Puja. The city comes alive with vibrant decorations, illuminations, and fervent devotional activities, attracting both locals and visitors alike, creating an atmosphere of religious significance and communal harmony.

In Chandannagar, Jagadhatri puja is celebrated as the annual festival of its own, surpassing the grandeur of Durga Puja. Acclaimed for its show of lights, during the four days of the Puja the entire town decks up beautifully as food stalls dot its streets and people throng to the pandals. On the last day of Dashami, all the effigies are paraded throughout the town in a night-long procession as the town showcases its skillful craftsmanship of lights and boasts its age-old tradition. The entire town celebrates for five days as monotonous every day routine comes to a halt. As birds turn to their nests when darkness kisses the ground, similarly the town beckons to all who have grown up in its nooks and crannies and migrated to different parts of the country or outside. During these four days as people return to their hometown to celebrate with their loved ones, the entire town state lights up in the warmth and glow of shared joy.
