About Us<\/span><\/h3>\nIt was the year 1989, when one fine day on 8th of January , came up the topic of Durga Puja between few fellow Bengalis, who then were amongst many that attended the famed Puja in Lonavala every year. The Durga Puja which started in Lonavala in the year 1971 attracted Bengalis from nearby towns, a majority being from Khopoli. Although means of commuting was difficult in those days, there was nothing that could stop a \u201cBengali\u201d who was away from home to attend this puja.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrabasi\u201d finally acquired the status of a registered organization under the Charity Commission of the Govt of Maharashtra by the name \u201cPrabasi Bengalee Association, Khopoli\u201d in the year 2003.Today the association boasts of approximately 100 families under its banner and together with the immense help of the localites continues to successfully conduct many festivities like Kali Puja, Saraswati Puja, Lakshmi Puja, Borsha Mongal, Netaji Subhash Chandra Jayanti, Rabindra Jayanti, Poila Boishakh, ofcourse Durga Puja being closest to heart!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1546367762354{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-md-6″]

Durga puja is not limited to Bengal or Bengalis. The worship is spared worldwide now. Kolkata Durga puja is the most popular, but Durga Puja celebrations in Mumbai, India, also have the same charm. Wherever you are, the puja celebrations will fill your heart with joy. In Mumbai, It\u2019s called Navaratri or Durga puja, but the feelings are the same.<\/p>\n
Whenever we Bengalis close our eyes, we see the beautiful idol of goddess Durga. Whenever we listen, we always hear mesmerizing Dhak music. \u201cMaa Asche\u201d is our favourite phrase. We wait for an entire year to welcome Maa Durga, and when she goes back, nothing feels good. We only have the hope, that next year Maa come again. Her blessings are there with us forever and ever.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

And so during the discussion the topic was broached. The discussion soon led to a meeting attended by all Bengalis of Khopoli,8th January 1989 who unanimously agreed to bring the Goddess home to our town.<\/p>\n
