Traditional Household Durga Puja Celebrations Honoured Across Bengal and Assam
Durga Puja traditions in India continue to thrive through longstanding household celebrations. In Kolkata, three aristocratic bonedi bari families—the Sabarna Roy Chowdhury, Chorbagan Mitra, and Ray Banerjee families—were honoured by Intach for preserving centuries-old Durga Puja rituals. Similarly, in Assam, four families across Sivasagar, Guwahati, Nazira, and Tezpur maintain intimate, generational puja practices, emphasizing ancestral customs and artisanal craftsmanship. These family-based observances highlight the festival's cultural heritage beyond public celebrations.
