Shobhabazar Rajbari Durga Puja 2026 — Kolkata's Royal Heritage

Shobhabazar Rajbari Durga Puja 2026 is a living testament to Kolkata's aristocratic heritage, rooted in centuries of royal devotion and colonial history. Founded by Raja Nabakrishna Deb in 1757 following the historic Battle of Plassey, this iconic celebration is widely regarded as the dawn of grand urban Durga Puja traditions in Bengal. The Rajbari's majestic courtyards have welcomed some of history's most remarkable figures — British administrators Robert Clive and Warren Hastings, and cultural luminaries such as Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda. Today, the puja continues to enchant thousands of visitors every autumn with its sacred rituals, vintage architecture, and an unmatched sense of nostalgia that no modern pandal can replicate. This is North Kolkata's Bonedi Bari puja at its most magnificent — a Sharodotsav tradition that bridges colonial Bengal and the present day. #DurgaPuja2026 #ShobhabazarRajbari #KolkataHeritage #BonediBariPuja #BengalCulture #Lykstage #LykstageVideo #LykstageCreator #LykstageCommunity
