The seeds of Durga Puja in Poland were sown in 2014, when a small group of dreamers — Sinhada, Paromita & Pradipto Maulik, Raj and his wife Paramita, Sambho, Santanu Roy, Anindya & Tania Bhowmik — gathered casually at the home of Pradipto Maulik. In their hearts, they shared one vision: to bring the sacred festival of Maa Durga to Warsaw, far away from the soil of Bengal.
That same year, the group travelled to Cologne, Germany, to witness a Durga Puja abroad and learn the procedures. Inspired and determined, they resolved to begin with a Bijoya Sammilani in Warsaw for Bengalis in Poland — as a first step toward their larger dream.
Though the intention was to hold a full-fledged Puja in 2015, circumstances delayed the plan. Finally, in 2017, the core team — Sinhada, Santanu Roy, Paromita & Pradipto Maulik — together with the immense support of many others, including Sanjay Sharma, Bidyut Saha, Pinaki Mukherjee, Sayanjit Guha, and Soumik Bhodok with his wife — brought the vision to life.
