Prepare to be mesmerized as the Goregaon Durga Mahotsav 2024 unfolds an extraordinary spiritual and cultural extravaganza from October 8th to 12th at the Vishnu Hanuman Ground, Bangur Nagar, Goregaon West. Organized by Kunal Verma, Puja Banerjee, Piyush Kothari, and Bikash Verma, the festival promises an awe-inspiring amalgamation of tradition, artistry, and devotion. For the first time ever, this iconic event brings the true essence of Kolkata’s revered Durga Pujo to Mumbai, offering devotees a divine experience like never before. 

Durga Maa’s murti was revealed today as 'Mumbai Chi Raani' – a moment that revealed the true grandeur of Ma Durga in her queenly form.

This year’s theme, a magnificent royal palace, will transport attendees into the regal world of opulence and spirituality. The crowning jewel of the event is the breathtaking ‘Queen Durga,’ an intricately crafted idol, arriving from the city of Kolkata, known for its unparalleled artistry. All materials, including the idol and decorations, are sourced directly from the City of Joy, ensuring the most authentic Kolkata Pujo experience right here in Mumbai.

The pandal, designed as an elaborate film set, promises to be the true USP of the Mahotsav, immersing visitors in a cinematic portrayal of devotion.

Throughout the festival, devotees and revellers will be treated to daily cultural performances from 7 PM to 10 PM, showcasing an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary acts. Meanwhile, the sacred Bhog will be served daily from 12 PM to 3 PM, with arrangements made to feed up to 2,000 people each day, ensuring that no one leaves without receiving Maa Durga’s blessings.

This immersive celebration promises to unite the divine with the artistic, offering an experience rich in spirituality, cultural heritage, and artistic grandeur.

Kunal Verma, Puja Banerjee, Piyush Kothari, and Bikash Verma quote saying ”Our vision for the Goregaon Durga Mahotsav 2024 was to bring the true spirit of Kolkata’s iconic Durga Pujo to Mumbai, but with a regal touch. From the majestic palace-themed pandal to the stunning ‘Queen Durga’ idol, we’re recreating an experience that feels both grand and deeply spiritual. Every detail, from the artistry to the performances, is designed to transport you to the heart of Kolkata. We can’t wait for Mumbaikars to witness ‘Mumbai Chi Raani’ and celebrate this cultural fusion with us in a way that’s never been done before”
