First time at a Durga Puja?
Everyone is welcome; entry is usually free. Remove shoes near the altar, accept prasad with your right hand, and dress Indian or smart-casual. Bhog is the shared meal; anjali is the flower offering; dhunuchi is the incense dance and sindoor khela happens on Dashami.
Enjoy Bengali Pujo food
Bengali food at most pujas; daily community dinner at Bengali Cultural Society (Marlton); bhog meals at Alor Benu (Edison).
Look for kathi rolls, Kolkata-style biryani, puchka, Mughlai parota, fish finger, fish fry, bhetki, ilish and bhapa ilish, then finish with roshogolla and mishti doi. Availability varies by venue and city.
