This is the 34th year of the Mulund Durga Puja organized by the Bengal Institute of Art & Culture, a registered Public Trust engaged in preserving and nurturing traditional arts. During the six days of Durga Puja, the puja venue is the nerve-centre of activity, devotion and celebrations. Almost 5000 people from across the city visit the puja venue every year to offer their prayers and seek Ma Durga's blessings. Devotees also partake of lunch prasad (bhog) on Saptami, Ashtami and Navami.
The venue is the same as every year: Mahakavi Kalidas Natya Mandir Complex, Mulund West, Mumbai. Those of you who haven't ever been to this Puja and want to know where exactly the venue is, just search for "Mulund Durga Puja" on Google Maps or use this link. Enter the complex and ask for the 'Wedding Hall'.

The "Souvenir" is an inseparable part of our Durga Puja celebrations. It is a book that is unveiled during the Durga Puja. It contains details about our programmes, interesting articles and messages from well-wishers. The Souvenir is not sold but distributed among our patrons, visitors and sponsors. Putting your message in the Souvenir is a great way of reaching out to hundreds of people in Mulund & neighbouring suburbs.
We will soon finalize the contents and design of this year's Souvenir. Companies wishing to place their ad messages in the souvenir or to take their brands closer to people in their moments of joy, and individuals wishing to make special donations may write to us at biac[dot]mulund[at]gmail[dot]com or call our General Secretary Shri Subal Kumar Saha on +91-9820671275. Donations made to the Bengal institute of Art & Culture are eligible for Income Tax exemption under Section 80G.
We look forward to your participation in our prayers and celebrations.
