The Legacy of
In 1976, a group of respected senior members from Geetanagar came together with a shared vision: to organize Durga Puja and Lakshmi Puja celebrations in Geetanagar, Guwahati. This marked the founding of the Geetanagar Sarvajanin Durga Puja Committee. Beyond the festivities, the Committee took on the responsibility of preserving and promoting our rich cultural heritage, ensuring that future generations would inherit and enhance their cultural, artistic, and social experiences.
For over four decades, the Geetanagar Durga Puja Committee has strived to celebrate Durga Puja in a grand and meaningful way. Through tireless efforts, our Durga Puja has grown to become one of the most prestigious in Assam. Over the years, Geetanagar Durga Puja has received numerous prestigious awards in various competitions organized across Guwahati, including the coveted Best Puja Award.
In addition to the celebrations, we have been publishing an annual souvenir, Bhawani, which has twice won the award for Best Souvenir during Durga Puja celebrations.
As we commemorate the 40th year of our Durga Puja, we are excited to announce the launch of our website, which will help us reach a wider audience and share the beauty and essence of our celebrations with the world.
Durga Puja is a secular event that welcomes people from all communities and faiths. It brings together members and residents of our locality to celebrate and cherish the cultural festivities. We believe that everyone plays a crucial role in making the event a success, and we always welcome new members to join our Committee.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us over the years, helping make Geetanagar Durga Puja a grand success. Your continued support and participation ensure that our celebrations grow bigger and better every year.
