Our Story
About Shriram Samruddhi Durga Pujo
Twenty years ago, a beautiful journey began when a group of people, strangers to one another and newly settled in their homes, came together within just two months to organise our very first Durga Puja. What began as a simple celebration soon blossomed into a cherished tradition and a bond that grew stronger with every passing year. Over time, neighbours became friends, friends became family, and our community became one big, loving family united by the spirit of Maa Durga. Today, Durga Puja is not just an annual celebration—it is a homecoming we eagerly await each year, a time to rejoice, reconnect, and create memories together.

Durga Puja Over the Years
Placeholder copy — a glimpse of the moments, faces, and festivities from Pujos past, from the very first celebration to last year's.
Placeholder copy — in the early years, the Pujo was little more than a small gathering of neighbours pooling together whatever they could to bring Ma Durga home. What it lacked in scale, it made up for in warmth, and that warmth is what people still talk about when they remember those first celebrations.
Placeholder copy — every year, the days leading up to the Pujo carry their own kind of anticipation: the pandal taking shape, the first strains of the dhaak being tested, and the whole community slowly turning its attention toward the same few days it has waited all year for.
Placeholder copy — as the community grew, so did the celebration. New families brought new traditions, the cultural evenings got bigger, and the puja slowly became the one time of year everyone made sure to be home for, no matter how busy life had gotten in between.
Placeholder copy — none of it would happen without the volunteers who give up their evenings and weekends for weeks beforehand — organising, coordinating, and making sure that when the four days finally arrive, everyone else can simply show up and celebrate.
Placeholder copy — today, the Pujo brings together hundreds of families across generations. It's a reminder of how far the community has come, and of the small group of strangers who decided, twenty years ago, to start something worth continuing.
