First Durga Puja for the block was held in the year 2010 with very few residents taking part in it. The first theme in the form of "Gram Bangla" (a village scene of Bengal) was tried last year (2013). It was a grand success as the block bagged three "Sharad Sanmans" (First Prizes) in three different catagories among all the pujas of Newtown and its sarroundings. The speciality of the puja is it's homely environment. All the residents, for the four days, behaves as a single unit. Everyone works hard to achieve success in the pujas and worship Maa Durga to the utmost. A few clicks of the recent puja (below) reminds us of it everytime.

All the props, accessories, paintings and designing were hand made by them. It was a grand success. This year wittnessed Shyama Puja to be so flourishing first time this year. A video of the whole scene is uploaded in the youtube. The theme attraction was a eight feet long snake made completely by the young people.

The festive season is not over very soon. Just after the Kali pujas, the block celebrates the "Bijaya Sanmilani" marking the end of the Pujas. The evening is decorated with a cultural programme where all the residents take part. This is followed by a dinner. A few clips of the program are clicked this year. (2013)
