Simlapal Schoolmore Sarbojonin Durgotsav 2026 | “Uma Dibya Shaibdham” | Bankura

Simlapal Schoolmore Sarbojonin Durgotsav is a community Durga Puja organised by the Simlapal Schoolmore Sarbojonin Durgotsav Committee in Simlapal, Bankura, West Bengal. In 2026, the Puja is celebrating its 33rd year, bringing together local residents and visitors through Maa Durga worship, cultural programmes, community activities and festive celebrations.

The committee describes its Durga Puja as a year-round effort rather than a celebration limited to the four days of Puja. Planning and preparation begin well before the festival, with volunteers working on the pandal, lighting, decorations, cultural programmes and other arrangements.

The committee's official communication also highlights the community spirit behind the celebration, including local participation, voluntary activities, discussions and preparations that continue throughout the year. The Puja aims to present a memorable festive experience for people in Simlapal and the wider South Bankura region.

The 2026 celebration carries the theme “উমা দিব্য শৈবধাম” (Uma Dibya Shaibdham), giving this year's Puja a distinct spiritual and artistic identity.
