Welcome to
Leeds Durgapuja and Diwali Association
Leeds Durgapuja & Diwali Association is a joyful union of people celebrating Sharodotsab — the festivals of Durga Puja, Lakshmi Puja, Kali Puja and Saraswati Puja. The Association promotes Bengali Hindu culture and traditions and also facilitates Indian cultural heritage through music and other performing arts.
The first Durgapuja in Leeds was held in 1982 in the Leeds Hindu Temple, when a few families came together to celebrate the Puja. Now we have more than 100 members and volunteers associated with the Association.
