The 101-year-old Bengal Club at Shivaji Park in Dadar is all set to celebrate its 88th Durga Puja. The festival, to be held from October 19 to 24 on the park ground, promises to be a truly special celebration, encompassing not only cultural and artistic grandeur but also a strong social message.

This year, the pandal itself will have a Sheesh Mahal finish, a glass palace decorated with artificial diyas that will create a spellbinding display, making it one of the centres of attraction. “We believe in unity in diversity, making the celebration open for all cultures and communities across Mumbai,” said Joy Chakraborty, spokesperson of the Bengal Club.
