About Us
Mallick Bari Durga Puja at 25A,C Mohini Mohan Road, Jadubabur Bazar, Bhowanipore, Kolkata is a traditional Bonedi Bari Durga Puja associated with the Mallick family.
The puja is known for its traditional Vaishnav practices and distinctive family rituals. Sources covering the Bhowanipore Mallick Bari place the Kolkata celebration at around 1924-1925, after the family had earlier worshipped Durga at its ancestral home.
The puja follows Vaishnav traditions, including the absence of animal sacrifice. Traditional accounts also note that rice is not offered to the Goddess

There appears to be a mix-up regarding the “413-year-old” claim.
The well-documented 413-year-old Durga Puja in Kolkata in 2022 was the Sabarna Roy Choudhury family's Puja at Barisha, which traces its beginning to 1610.
For the Mallick Bari at 25A,C Mohini Mohan Road, Bhowanipore, reliable sources I found describe the present Kolkata puja as beginning around 1924-1925, although the family's Durga Puja tradition is connected to an older ancestral history.
So, for an AasPaas listing, I would not use “413-year-old” as a verified fact for this particular Bhowanipore Mallick Bari.
