The Greatest Show on Earth for Bengalis

Durga Puja, recently recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage, is a vibrant show of Bengali and Indian culture, tradition, and heritage, that resonates deeply with the Indian diaspora worldwide.

Durga Puja has become a major cultural show in cities across the UK, such as London, Glasgow, Birmingham and Cambridge.

Durga Puja celebration draws large crowds, including Non- Resident Indians (NRIs) and local enthusiasts who participate in traditional rituals, cultural performances, and festive gatherings.

How UK based Bengalis Celebrate Durga Puja

The Bengali community in different cities of the UK celebrate the festival of Durga Puja with much grandeur and fanfare.

The activities include

  • 4 days long rituals and celebration
  • Creative decoration of pandals
  • Bhog distribution
  • Chandan nagar style lighting
  • Cultural activities involving artists from India
  • Funfair for children
  • Food and non food stalls
  • Extensive media coverage

Custodian of Bengali Culture in the UK

The Bengali diaspora in the UK is the Custodian of Bengali culture and traditions there.

They uplift our heritage and culture through

  • Celebration of festivals like Durga Puja, Thames Durga Parade, Kali Puja, Saraswati Puja, Dol Jatra, Poila Baisakh and more.
  • Cultural programs including art, literature, music, dance and other performances.
  • Organizing food related events where they cook and sell/distribute traditional dishes
  • Organizing sports among the community members

How Businesses from Bengal can Support the Cause

Upholding the Bengali culture in the UK needs support from Bengal.

There is a huge financial expense involved in the grand celebration of Durga Puja in the UK.

To cover a part of the cost businesses from Bengal can sponsor the events.

This will encourage the organizers to do more with the mission of preserving our culture in the UK.

The Opportunity for your Brand

The festival's extensive reach and high engagement level present a unique opportunity for Kolkata-based businesses to showcase their products and services to a wider audience. It is obvious that businesses leveraging cultural events like Durga Puja with targeted advertising and promotions see a significant increase in their brand recognition.

Thousands of Indians in the UK have their relatives and connections in Bengal. Be it care for their elderly parents, general healthcare, investment in real estate, need for hotels and resorts for accommodation or events, restaurants, financial investments, social events or the need for daily consumables, these NRIs are always looking for trustworthy brands and service providers back in Bengal. Not only for their own needs, but also for recommending to their closed ones staying in Bengal. Promotion of your esteemed brand in the UK would help you stay top of mind of these NRIs.

Moreover, your brand presence in London will enhance your brand value in India.

A 12-Month Social Media Promotion within the local Bengali Association of the UK and a global Bengali association would help you to be recognizable and trustworthy to your target audience.
