Shubho Bijoya 2009

Dear Patrons, Friends and Well-wishers,

We celebrated our Puja in a spectacular fashion. The attendance was beyond our expectation in all the three days; the executive committee is delighted for your overwhelming response and active participation. Even the heavy rain on Saturday did not discourage you from attending the Puja. Our decoration was very creative and appreciated by everyone. Attendants enjoyed our homely Puja atmosphere, warm hospitality, puspanjali and prasad. Our cultural events were successful on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with participation from our local talents and external artists. We will shortly release a set of two DVDs with Pujari labels comprising Puja events and different cultural events at minimum cost. Please respond if you are interested to collect one.

We really appreciate your participation and support and hope to see you at subsequent Pujari events. Watch out for Durga Puja photos and video clips to be uploaded soon on our website.

Change of Durga Puja 2009 Events

Dear Pujari members, friends and well-wishers,

I know you all have been waiting and looking forward to the 3 days of Durga Puja ahead. Unfortunately, with great regret, I have to announce that due to some unknown reason Rupankar’s visa has been rejected by the US embassy. In fact, the visas of many other Kolkata performers have been rejected too. This is quite unforeseen, and unfortunate given how anxiously we were waiting to see Rupankar’s performance. Needless to say, we were highly disappointed as well. However, rest assured, we have scrambled and we have been able to put together some alternate shows that will be equally attractive. Instead of 3 external artists we will now have FOUR.

• FREE event: Friday, 25th Sept. 2009 – Alak Roychowdhury
• FREE event: Saturday, 26th Sept. 2009 – Santoneel
• FREE event: Sunday, 27th Sept. 2009 – Alamgir

AND

• Sunday, 4th October, 2009, we will host the inimitable “DEBOJIT SAHA“, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa challenge 2005 winner.

Debojit’s show will be open to all of Atlanta with all his popular Bollywood songs. However, registrants at Durga Puja will receive a special discount. So mark October 4th, 2009 on your calendars right now. Going by Debojit’s recent North American shows, this is surely going to be a BIG HIT.

We will shortly announce information about how to collect your tickets through www.pujari.org.
