Durga Puja, a major festival of Hinduism, is traditionally held for 10 days in the month of Ashvina (September–October), the seventh month of the Hindu calendar, and is particularly celebrated in Bengal, Assam, and other eastern Indian states.

The first Durga puja in Kolkata was most likely organized by the Sabarna Roychowdhury family of Behala on the southern fringes of Calcutta, in 1610. A few other landlords organized the puja in the districts of Hooghly, Bardhaman, and Nadia during the 17th century.
