Chorbagan Sil Bari Durga Puja & Dol Utsav

Chorbagan Sil Bari Durga Puja & Dol Utsav A heritage Bonedi Bari of the Sil family in North Kolkata, known for its centuries old Durga Puja celebrations Our traditions extend beyond Durga Puja.

In the busy lanes of North Kolkata, beside the Marble Palace on Muktaram Babu Street, stands the grand Chorbagan Sil Thakur Bari, a house where history, tradition, and devotion come together. Built in 1856, this two-storey building with its thakur dalan has been the heart of the Sil family’s heritage for generations. The Durga Puja here completed its 150th year in 2005, a legacy that began with Kh

etramoni Debi, wife of Babu Ram Chandra Sil, a successful businessman and exporter to South East Asia. It was her devotion that started this journey, first at Goswami Lane in Baghbazar and later in our ancestral home at Chorbagan. Following the Vaishnav traditions, our rituals remain strictly vegetarian and deeply spiritual. The celebrations begin with Bodhan on Mahalaya and continue till Sashti. On Saptami morning, we go to Jagannath Ghat for Nabo Patrika Snan, popularly known as Kola Bou Snan. After the rituals, Puja and Aarti of Maa Durga take place, followed by a cultural program in the evening. On Ashtami, Dhunno Porano are performed, where the married women of the family sit before Maa Durga and pray for everyone’s well-being. We also worship the holy cow and the river Ganga on this day. On Nabami, the sacred Kumari Puja and Sadhaba Puja are performed, rituals that hold special meaning for our family and visitors alike. A family cultural program is also held in the evening. The Puja concludes with the immersion at Prasanna Kumar Tagore Ghat on Dashami. On Dol Purnima, we worship our family deity, Shri Radha Damodar. The eve is marked by Chachor (Holika Dahan), followed by a night of Jatra or Natok. At dawn, Deb Dol is celebrated and the day is filled with the colors of Holi, ending with a joyful family gathering. On a regular basis, our family deity Shri Radha Damodar is worshipped twice daily. We place our deepest faith in Him and believe He is the protector and guiding light of our family, keeping alive the rhythm of devotion in our home. For us, Chorbagan Sil Thakur Bari is not just a holy place—it is a living piece of Kolkata’s soul. With its timeless architecture, sacred rituals, and community spirit, it continues to keep alive the grandeur of the past in today’s Kolkata.
