Durga Puja – our annual grand event for which we wait all year round is here again. You are invited to join us through Oct 19th to Oct 21st at Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose.

This year, we are having the unique pleasure of giving equal importance to both professional and local programs. We are having two excellent professional performances: Chandrabindoo on Friday Oct 19th evening, and Iman Chakraborty will present a musical program on Oct 21st evening.

Besides these professional musical performances, we have opened up the entire Saturday for local cultural programs from excellent local talents. Please scroll down for details on these performances.

Of course, for those who have visited us before, you know the variety of stalls we have at our mandap. The food is simply irresistible and the shopping experience unparalleled. We look forward to seeing you soon!
