01 / Our story

For over a century, a corner of old Delhi has gathered every autumn to welcome the Goddess home.

Founded in 1910, the Kashmere Gate Durga Puja is among Delhi’s oldest continuing celebrations. Generations have built it together—not simply as a festival, but as a shared inheritance of ritual, music, food, theatre and service.
