During the month of September–October all the natives celebrate Durgapuja, which is the greatest festival of Bengal. Mainly three "Puja mandaps" are need to be mentioned here: Sashtitala, Bainan Bazar and Raypara. Although the budgets are low but you can find the true essence of celebration. Rathayatra of god Radhaballabh (radha krisha) of Ray/Bandopadhay family is celebrated in the month of Ashad (June–July) for approximately 500 years. Another very old Puja is celebrated during the month of Boisakh in Purbo Bainan Roy Para i.e. Bramha Puja. In this village only Sabyasachi Banerjee's family celebrate their own DURGA puja.[3]
