About the event
The story of Bengal in Nagpur goes back further than you might imagine. From the Bhosales’ connections with Bengal to the arrival of the Bengal Nagpur Railway and the Bengali communities that followed, many threads connect the two regions.
On this walk, we explore how Bengal found a home in Nagpur — and how Durga Puja became part of the city’s cultural landscape. Along the way, we’ll uncover stories of the people, communities and institutions that shaped this connection, while also discovering the traditions and rituals of Durga Puja itself — what happens, how it is celebrated, and what it means to the community.
A journey through people, history, traditions and the enduring Bengali connection with Nagpur.
