TriBeCa Care has arranged for senior friendly Puja Parikrama each year, and this year is no different. You can ask your Care Manager for more information or to book it for you.
Durga Puja is one of the most famous festivals for the Hindus, especially the Bengalis, which is celebrated to honour Goddess Durga. According to mythology, Durga Puja means returning of Maa Durga to her parents’ house from the Himalayas with her sons and daughters, Ganesha, Kartik, Laksmi, and Saraswati.
In Kolkata, Bengalis look forward to this festival with great enthusiasm and Durga Darshan is a special ceremony for them. TriBeCa Care organizes exclusive Puja Parikrama for senior citizens, thus making Durga Darshan a luxurious and comfortable experience.
Durga Puja Celebration in Kolkata
Durga Puja in Kolkata is a grand affair. People from all across the world come to Kolkata to see and celebrate this festival organized by various large clubs and the Raajbaris. The decorations, the theme and the lights of these large Puja Pandals attract people in huge numbers. Durga Puja Pandal-hopping is a day and night celebration for 5 days, starting from Maha Sasthi.
Why should there be these kinds of initiatives for senior citizens in Kolkata?
Senior citizens usually spend their time sitting back at home for most of a year. During the festive season as well, they often remain secluded as they do not have the excitement to plan and go for pandal hopping.
Thus an initiative like senior-friendly Puja Parikrama can be very joyous for senior citizens where they can enjoy the Biggest Festival of Kolkata. Durga Darshan helps Senior Citizens to change their stereotype lifestyle and meet like-minded people of their generation and forge friendships.
