Kolkata, May 23, 2025 – As Kolkata begins its countdown to Durga Puja, the iconic Barisha Sabuj Sathi Club is preparing to mark a major milestone — their 85th year of celebrating the festival. In homage to UNESCO’s recognition of Durga Puja as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the club is set to unveil their most ambitious and culturally rich celebration to date.
Legacy Rooted in Tradition and Innovation
Founded before India’s independence, Barisha Sabuj Sathi Club is among Kolkata’s most enduring community pujas. Over the decades, it has become a cultural torchbearer, combining traditional devotion with innovative thematic storytelling. In 2024, the club’s theme, “Bunun Gantha Jibon Katha”, was widely acclaimed for its depth and originality.
Recognitions and Cultural Impact
The club’s artistic excellence has earned accolades from esteemed platforms:
-
Top 20 placement in Asian Paints Sharod Shomman (2022)
-
Shera Barowari Bishesh Samman from Zee 24 Ghanta Mahapujo
In a testament to its legacy, one of the club’s Durga idols is permanently housed at the Behala Blind School, further cementing its place in Bengal’s cultural heritage.
Strategic Location for Maximum Exposure
Located at a key junction on Diamond Harbour Road, the club enjoys one of the city’s busiest pandal-hopping routes. This year, a new entrance from Diamond Harbour Road has been added to enhance visitor experience and manage the anticipated large crowds.
Nearby landmarks include the renowned Barisha Club and the culturally significant site of the Barisha Ratha Yatra, reinforcing the area’s spiritual and festive prominence.
A Hub for Brands and Artistic Expression
With footfall expected in the lakhs, the club offers exceptional branding and sponsorship opportunities. Located along a national highway and steeped in cultural importance, the pandal site offers:
-
High-visibility advertising zones
-
Physical and emotional engagement with diverse audiences
-
Alignment with Bengal’s rich heritage
Sponsors can explore previous themes and installations via a Google Drive portfolio of photos and videos, available upon request.
A Commitment to Community and Service
Barisha Sabuj Sathi Club stands out not just for celebration, but for compassion. During the COVID-19 pandemic and cyclones Amphan and Yaas, the club extended critical aid to remote regions like South 24 Parganas.
Regular health camps, cultural programs, and relief drives underscore their unwavering role in community upliftment.
