Piling up our schoolbooks in front of the idol, with the math book right on top alongwith our pens and  notebooks - we would rely on the goddess to turn us into geniuses overnight. I doubt much has changed over the years. We all knew that Saraswati was the goddess of knowledge and learning, and if there was any faculty within us that required additional honing, only she could do it. This was the day when yellow, also called ‘Basanti’, became the color of choice and signified the arrival of spring. ‘Bhog’ would mostly be khichuri served with begun bhaja a rather typical combination at Srishti of Charlotte.

​

We look forward to celebrating Saraswati Puja together!

Durga Puja

With the end of monsoons, when the fluffy clouds fill the firmament, autumn heralds the coming of the festive season of the year, Sharodiya Utsav. Durga Puja, the largest social and religious festival spanning for 5 days. Pandal hopping, wearing new clothes, thronging to food joints and catching up with old friends in Bengali’s quintessential adda are some of the highlights of Durga Puja.

​

Even after years of living away from Bengal one cannot forget the childhood fun and fanfare of our neighbourhood ‘barowari’ pujos. Srishti’s Sharadiya Utsav attempts to relive these moments and tries to amalgamates the tradition and contemporary theme of today’s and yester years Pujas and takes you through a nostalgic ride of Durga Puja in Charlotte. Relish mouth-watering  Bengali delicacies like Maach (Bengali Fish), Mangsho (Goat Meat), Chicken, Mishti (sweets) and other vegetarian dishes.

​

We look forward to celebrating Sharodiya Utsav with you!
