Bangla-O-Biswa means literally “Bengal in the World.” Formed in 1981 as a Bengali cultural organization comprised mainly of Hindus from West Bengal, India this group hosts three Pujas (festivals) to various forms of the goddess every year: Durga Puja in September/October, Kali Puja in October, and Saraswati Puja in February. They also host a Bengali New Year celebration in April and a summer picnic in June.
The most highly attended of Bangla-O-Biswa’s events is Durga Puja, as this is also the largest annual festival celebrated in West Bengal. According to a number of people at the Puja, this event celebrates the time when the goddess Durga was created by all of the other gods, endowed with their special powers to destroy the buffalo demon named Mahisa who was wreaking havoc on the world.
