These events are more than just competitions. They are moments of bonding, joy, and cultural pride — a way to keep the children of CR Park connected to the roots of Bengal while ensuring that adults rediscover their own festive spirit.

While other Pujas may host similar events, Cooperative Ground Puja Samity’s charm lies in its warmth, inclusiveness, and flawless organisation. And yes — the prizes are a bonus, but the real win is the laughter, the memories, and the community spirit!
