North and Central Kolkata Durga Puja Pandals Guide with Map

This guide and the roadmap cover the best Puja pandal hopping in Kolkata, so anyone can visit at minimal cost and with less effort. A big salute to the Kolkata police; they do an excellent job every year.

My first stop is the Sealdah Railway Athletic Club, which is easily accessible from anywhere in Kolkata. From there, you’ll naturally find yourself at the College Square Durgotsab Committee, thanks to the connected barricaded route. Next, head to MD Ali Park, followed by Santosh Mitra Square. These pandals are part of a cluster, and if you’re visiting at night, this circuit is more than enough to fill your evening.

Next, take a bus to the Khanna stop and visit Nalin Sarkar Street Sarbojanin Durgotsab, Hatibagan Sarbojanin, and Hatibagan Nabinpally Sarbojanin Durgotsav. From there, catch a bus toward Hedua to reach Kashi Bose Lane and Azad Hind Bagh (Hedua Park).

After that, head to Simla Byayam Samity. To get there, take the metro to Girish Park. Once you reach Sovabazar, take an auto-rickshaw to visit Ahiritola Sarbojanin Durgotsav and Sovabazar Beniatola Durga Puja.

After that, either walk or take an auto to Kumartuli Park Sarbojanin, Kumartuli Sarbojanin Durgotsab, Sovabazar Beniatola Durga Puja, and B.K. Paul. Once you’ve covered these, head to the Sovabazar Metro Station and make your way to Jagat Mukherjee Park.

From Jagat Mukherjee Park, take a 10-minute walk to the iconic Bagbazar Sarbojanin. Then, take an auto to the Bagbazar Crossing and continue on to Shyambazar and Deshbandhu Park. From Shyambazar, catch a bus to visit Tala Barowari and Tala Pratyay Durga Puja.

Along the way, you’ll come across many smaller pujas — tucked into alleys, homes, or lining the roadside — each offering its own unique charm and atmosphere. Don’t hesitate to explore and soak in the festive spirit!
