Durga Puja among the diaspora
Across the world, Durga Puja serves as a community gathering and a connection to roots for the widespread Bengali diaspora. Tokyo has nearly ten Pujas, and North America has several hundred. Some of the oldest Durga Puja celebrations outside Bengal have been taking place in the United Kingdom for over seventy years. In recent years, Bengali communities in Australia, France and Germany have also started annual Durga Puja celebrations.
In the Middle East, restrictions by local governments on minority religious practices have prevented many Bengali communities from celebrating. The most consistent Durga Puja in the Gulf region has been celebrated in Muscat, Oman, since 1982. The permanent venue for the annual celebration since 1994 has been the Hindu temple in Sohar, in old Muscat. Bengali Cultural Society Kuwait started Durga Puja as Sharadotsav in 1996 and continued till 2000. After 9/11, this has become a five-day get together and cultural programmes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durga_Puja

About Chittaranjan Park
Chittaranjan Park is in South New Delhi. In the late 1960, it was set up to adjust migrants who left East Pakistan at the time of Partition of the country. Around 1980 it was called EPDP colony (East Pakistan Displaces Person) then it name was changed to honor the well known freedom fighter Chittaranjan Das who was also a lawyer. At inception it has 2147 plots distributed into 11 Blocks from A to K. later some more blocks were added to accommodate more people at Chittaranjan Das.
The colony was built exclusively for the migrants from east Bengal however, with time other Bengalis were also attracted to this place. Nevertheless, the place is still the most important colony of Bengali culture in the capital of the country. Volatile growth of South Delhi resulted rise in property price. In Delhi Chittaranjan park carries the Bengali culture on his shoulders and the best part is the evening part when the street and the market is crowded with Bengali and they all are passing time in their own style. Durga Puja celebration are done in Shiv Mandir, B Block, Mela ground and it is so decorative that it is hard to believe that the mandals are in Delhi and not in Bengal. Chittaranjan Bhawan and Bipin Pal Bhawan often host Bengali theater and music performance for the people live at Chittaranjan Park. In the week of Durga Puja, witness much outstanding performance of various artists and bands that came all the way from West Bengal or Bangladesh.
