Kendua Shanti Sangha Durga Puja 2026: The Story Behind “Aishwaryi” (ঐশ্বরী)
Every Durga Puja begins with a story before it becomes a spectacle. For its 53rd year, Kendua Shanti Sangha Sarbojanin Durgotsab Committee unveils “Aishwaryi” (ঐশ্বরী) as the official theme for Durga Puja 2026—a concept that promises to blend devotion, creativity, and community spirit into one memorable celebration.

A 53-Year Journey

Each edition adds a new chapter while preserving the values that have defined the committee for generations.
The Story Behind “Aishwaryi”
The word “Aishwaryi” (ঐশ্বরী) reflects the essence of divine grace, prosperity, and the timeless splendour of Goddess Durga.
Rather than revealing everything at once, the theme invites visitors to experience its meaning through the artistic journey of the pandal. It promises a celebration where storytelling, spirituality, and creativity come together to create a lasting impression.
The Creative Minds
The artistic vision for Aishwaryi is led by Avik & Shuvam, with creative support from Tapan Majhi, Sudip Sanyal, Iman & Akash.
Their collective effort aims to transform a simple idea into an immersive Durga Puja experience that celebrates both tradition and artistic expression.

More Than a Theme
Aishwaryi is more than this year’s theme—it is another chapter in Kendua Shanti Sangha’s 53-year legacy. As Durga Puja 2026 approaches, the committee once again reminds us that the true beauty of the festival lies not only in grand decorations but also in the stories, emotions, and people who bring them to life.
