Mundan Sanskar in Kolkata: Local Traditions

Kolkata has one of the richest household puja cultures in India. Bengali families keep a family Purohit for Annaprashan, Poita, Bibaho and Shraddha, and the home calendar runs through Lakshmi Puja on Thursdays, Kojagari Lakshmi Puja after Durga Puja, Kali Puja and Saraswati Puja.

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.
