Discover the Bengali side of Jaipur during October’s festive season
Jaipur’s October calendar isn’t only about Navratri and Dussehra.
The city also becomes home to vibrant Durga Puja celebrations, bringing Bengali culture, food, music, art and community together.
For travellers searching for Durga Puja in Jaipur, one of the most relevant celebrations in 2026 is organised by the Probasi Bengali Cultural Society (PBCS) at Jai Club Lawns, Ashok Marg, C-Scheme. Their 32nd annual Durga Puja runs from 15 to 21 October 2026.
Durga Puja in C – Scheme
PBCS has been organising Durga Puja in Jaipur for decades, bringing the flavour of Bengal to the city.
The organisation describes the celebration as a community festival that brings together people across backgrounds and provides a platform for Bengali culture and communal harmony.
During the 2026 festival, visitors can expect a combination of puja rituals, cultural programmes and community activities.
Why Visit a Durga Puja Pandal?
A Durga Puja pandal in Jaipur is more than a temporary structure.
It becomes a space for worship, art, food, music and community.
For travellers, pandal-hopping can be a wonderful way to experience Bengali culture in Jaipur without travelling to Kolkata.
You can observe the decorations, listen to cultural performances, explore food stalls, and experience the atmosphere respectfully.
What to Eat During Durga Puja
Food is one of the easiest ways to connect with a culture.
Depending on the festival arrangements, look for Bengali favourites such as:
- Khichuri
- Labra
- Begun Bhaja
- Luchi
- Cholar Dal
- Mishti
- Sandesh
- Rasgulla
Availability varies by pandal and day, so check the current programme before planning your food trail.
Durga Puja Meets Jaipur
One of the best things about experiencing Durga Puja in Jaipur is that you don’t have to choose between Bengali culture and Rajasthan.
You can spend part of your day exploring:
Hawa Mahal → City Palace → Johari Bazaar → local Rajasthani food
and then head towards a Durga Puja celebration in the evening.
It makes for a wonderfully layered Jaipur experience.
