Kolkata has one of the oldest Marwari communities in India, centred on Burrabazar and Posta and now spread to Alipore, Ballygunge, Salt Lake and Lake Town, and these families want Hindi speaking Pandits for Diwali Lakshmi Puja, Chopda Pujan, Sundarkand Path and weddings in Rajasthani vidhi. Bihari and UP families in Howrah, Liluah and the industrial belt along the Hooghly book Chhath, Satyanarayan Katha and Mundan, and the Hooghly ghats fill for Chhath every year.
