As we mark this momentous occasion, the theme of the 95th Durgoutsav is ‘Diversity.’ The choice of theme reflects the rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and communities that make up India’s vibrant fabric. The Samiti aims to honour and celebrate the unity in diversity that has always been a hallmark of Indian society.

“Our 95th year is not just a celebration of the Durga Puja but also a celebration of our country’s diverse and inclusive spirit,” said Susmita Mitra, President of the Bombay Durga Bari Samiti. “Through this theme, we want to emphasise that despite our differences, we are all united in our devotion, culture, and the shared values that bind us together.”

The festivities will include a series of cultural programs, religious rituals, and community events that will highlight the diversity within the community while paying homage to the traditional roots of the Durga Puja celebration.

The Samiti invites everyone to join in the festivities Held at the iconic Tejpal Hall, a heritage building in South Bombay and be a part of this grand celebration that honours both tradition and the beautiful mosaic of cultures that define our nation.
