CR Park's Durga Puja 2025: Delhi Transforms into a Golden Wonderland, Bringing Kolkata's Grandeur to Life

Delhi's Chittaranjan Park, fondly known as CR Park or 'mini Kolkata', is already abuzz with anticipation for what promises to be an unprecedented Durga Puja celebration in 2025. Stepping far beyond previous years, the community is gearing up to transform the heart of the capital into a spectacular replica of Jaisalmer's iconic Golden Fort, a vision that will be brought to life by a mesmerizing display of 50,000 lamps.

This grand undertaking is not merely about scale; it's about an immersive cultural experience that aims to transport millions of devotees and visitors directly to the vibrant festive spirit of Kolkata.

The Golden Fort, an architectural marvel in itself, will serve as the central pandal, meticulously crafted to evoke awe and wonder. Imagine the intricate details, the golden hues shimmering under countless lights, creating a truly magical backdrop for the celebrations.

The four major puja committees of CR Park – the CR Park Co-operative Puja Committee, Mela Ground, B Block, and K Block – are at the forefront of this ambitious plan.

While the Co-operative Puja Committee is orchestrating the Golden Fort spectacle, the other committees are also preparing unique and equally captivating themes. For instance, the Mela Ground committee might explore an eco-friendly theme or a traditional temple replica, ensuring a diverse and rich tapestry of artistic expression across the locality.

Each pandal, a temporary edifice of devotion and artistry, will tell its own story, contributing to the overall grandeur.

Durga Puja in CR Park is more than just religious rituals; it's a profound cultural carnival. Beyond the elaborate pandals and divine idols, visitors can expect a gastronomic delight with an array of Bengali delicacies, from delectable street food to traditional sweets.

Cultural performances, including traditional Bengali music, dance, and theatrical productions, will fill the evenings, celebrating the rich heritage of Bengal. It’s a time for families to reunite, for friends to celebrate, and for the entire community to come together in joyous revelry.

With an estimated budget running into crores and an expected footfall of millions from Delhi-NCR and beyond, Durga Puja 2025 in CR Park is poised to be one of India's most significant cultural events.

It stands as a testament to the community's unwavering dedication to preserving and promoting their heritage, offering a breathtaking glimpse into the grandeur of Bengal's most cherished festival, right in the heart of the nation's capital. Prepare to be enchanted, as Delhi embraces the golden glow and the electric energy of a truly unforgettable Durga Puja.
