If you have ever spent Durga Pujo in Kolkata, you know it’s not just a festival—it’s an emotion. The sound of dhaak, the fragrance of shiuli phool in the early morning breeze, and the long queues in front of pandals tell a story that goes beyond religion. It is about people—friends catching up over adda, families bonding over mishti, and strangers who suddenly feel like long-lost cousins. Durga Pujo is that rare moment when the entire city beats to the same heart. And in the middle of all this, the true magic is togetherness.
More Than Five Days of Celebration!
Durga Pujo is never limited to just the five official days. Ask any Bengali, and you’ll hear how “Pujo ese geche” the moment the first pujo advertisement drops on TV or when radio plays “ Durga Pujo’r ar matro 55 din baki!”(55 days only to Durgapujo-countdown start). The build-up itself is a festival—new clothes, para rehearsals, last-minute pandal finishing, and endless debates about where to go first.
This is where the keyword of the season shines: bonding. Pujo bonds us with our past, our present, and our people. It reminds us that in a world running too fast, we still crave slow moments filled with laughter and stories.
The Adda We All Wait For!
What’s Pujo without adda? Whether it’s para friends sitting on scooters outside the pandal or college buddies gathering after months, adda is the soul of Pujo. It’s those late-night talks, laughter spilling over bhog plates, or even serious debates on whose para pujo looks grandeur this year.
Searching Soulmate believes in this very power of conversation and connection. That’s why Pujo Adda was born—to give people a space to relive the old-world charm of connecting beyond screens. Here, strangers meet over shared nostalgia, stories are exchanged without filters, and new friendships blossom as naturally as the shiuli flowers of autumn.
Mishti, Music & Moments That Stay Forever!
No Pujo is complete without mishti. From roshogolla to mishti doi, these sweets taste extra special during Pujo days. They’re not just desserts—they’re memories. Who doesn’t remember standing in line for that favorite sandesh or the bhoger khichuri that always feels divine? Add a little music—be it the radio playing “Dugga Dugga” or dhunuchi naach beats—and suddenly, you’re back to being a child, tugging your maa’s hand in the pandal crowd.
It’s this mix of mishti, music, and memories that Searching Soulmate wants to preserve through community gatherings like Pujo Adda. Because memories grow stronger when shared, and moments become timeless when celebrated together.
Why Pujo Adda?
In today’s busy world, not everyone can be at home during Pujo. Some are away for work, others feel the emptiness of missing para days. Pujo Adda brings them all under one roof—people known and unknown, sharing one emotion. It’s not about grandeur, it’s about heart.
Just like Durga Pujo itself, Pujo Adda is not an event, it’s an experience. It’s about sitting together, talking endlessly, laughing freely, and feeling at home with people who may have been strangers just a few hours ago.
Circle of Pujo
And so, the circle is complete—adda, mishti, memories, bonding & a bit of cultural immersive program. That’s what Pujo has always been about, and that’s what Pujo Adda carries forward. Searching Soulmate is simply the bridge—helping you connect, communicate, and celebrate self-love in the truest Bengali way.
So this year, let’s meet not just in pandals but in conversations, not just in queues but in memories. Join us at Pujo Adda on 20th September, 4 PM onwards, and let’s create stories worth remembering.
Because Durga Pujo in Kolkata was never just a festival—it was always a feeling.
