We are excited to announce that after a year's hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be hosting Durga Pujo celebrations again this year. We extend our heartiest invitation to everyone to join in celebrating the triumph of good over evil! Durga Pujo is the main festival of the West Bengal state in the country of India. This festival is widely celebrated in Bengal and throughout India every fall. Thousands of miles away from India, we strive to recreate a little piece of the festival ourselves.
Enjoy a day of festivities, food, dance and music on the occasion of Durga Pujo at Virginia Tech. The festival celebrates the victory of good over evil, light over darkness and love over hate.
The cultural show will include song and dance performances portraying Bengali Culture
All are welcome to join in all the festivities.
