As we prepare to welcome you all to this year's Durga Puja, we have an important update regarding parking at the venue.

Due to the overwhelming response and the fact that our event is on all days, we anticipate a very high volume of attendees. Please be aware that the venue has ❌very limited on-site parking access. To ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for everyone, we strongly recommend using the public car parks in the area.
