The Royal Dawn of Durga Puja: Shobhabazar Rajbari’s Unmatched Legacy In the heart of North Kolkata’s old world charm, the Shobhabazar Rajbari Durga Puja emerges as one of the most iconic and historically rich celebrations in Bengal. This grand family puja, launched in 1757 by the visionary Raja Nabakrishna Deb,  remains a beacon of Bengali tradition, aristocratic grandeur, and  cultural pride—carrying forward a legacy that intertwines colonial  history with the resurgence of Bengal’s spiritual and cultural identity. During Durga Puja 2025,  the sprawling rajbari transforms into a majestic spectacle where  heritage meets devotion, offering visitors an immersive experience of  rituals that have been passed down for over two and a half centuries.  For detailed directions, entry protocols, and cultural notes, seekers of  tradition can find rich curated guides at https://www.pujo2pujo.com/.
