Mahalaya and Anandamela Houston Durga Bari will kick off the 2023 Puja season with an exciting mix of Mahalaya, Anandamela, Fashion Show and Cultural Program on Sunday, October 15th.  Mahishasurmardini, the musical welcoming Ma Durga to the Earth, will be performed live in the temple. The ceremonial medley of devotional songs, mantras and narration will be performed with grace and flare. Anandamela, the traditional Bengali food fest to signify the start of Pujas, will take place in the Sur Auditorium.  From mouth-watering appetizers to delectable dishes to delicious desserts, the gourmand in you will feel satiated. We hope everyone’s taste bud will have a truly memorable experience. Puja Shopping is an integral part of Durga Puja/Navratri/Kali Puja/Diwali.

Come and utilize this perfect opportunity to shop for your sarees, jewelry, gift items and exclusive products at the prestigious and highly popular Houston Durgabari's Puja Bazaar at the Kalabhavan.
