Neighbourhood and temple mandaps host Durga Puja, with local committees organising worship, aarti and cultural programmes.
Tip: Ask the local puja committee about timings and visiting etiquette.
Community bhog
Many Pujas serve a vegetarian bhog meal, often khichuri with sides. Menus differ by committee and by day.
Tip: Serving times differ, so ask on the day.
Bijoya greetings and sweets
After Dashami, families exchange Bijoya greetings, visit elders and share sweets and snacks. What is served varies by household.
Dhak and dhunuchi aarti
Evening aarti with dhak drums and the dhunuchi (incense-burner) dance is a highlight at many Pujas.

Sindoor khela
On Dashami, married women offer sindoor to the goddess and to each other before the idol is immersed.
