Durga Pujo In Pardes – Toronto & GTA , Canada

Ask any Bengali their favorite time of the year and it has to be Durga Puja. So After relocating to Canada, my first question was where will I celebrate Durga Puja. I googled and found out there are so many organizations and thus many pujos.

People who have been living abroad will know how these pujas are arranged. They are basically weekend only pujo. So Saturday is Sashti, Saptami and Sunday is Ashtami, Navami and then Dashmi.

If you visit the Temples then they have pujo according to Hindu Calendar Time and Dates.
