The name Agomoni Cultural Association is popularly associated with the most vibrant puja of our Maa Aadi Shakti in form of Durga (Durgotsav), Lokhi, Kali and Saraswati puja in Pune. We have been organizing various socio-cultural events in Magarpatta, Pune for several years. Since 2017, the Durga, Kali [Deepawali], Kojagari Lokhi [Laxmi] Puja and Saraswati puja celebrations have been held at the Ma
a Bhabatarini Kali Mandir, on 40ft Road, near Mundwa Flyover in Magarpatta. We have been organizing monthly ‘Amavasya puja’ and very recently in association with ISKCON have initiated ‘Hari Naam ‘Sanskirtan a weekly [Tuesday] gathering. The 5-day cultural extravaganza during Durga Puja, called Sharadiya Durga Utshob, has become an extremely popular and well attended cultural fiesta in Pune, featuring events for kids, students, corporates, homemakers - young and old. Both the in-house cultural programs, performed by members, and the glitzy professional events attract equal crowds and applause. Agomoni Cultural Association Socio-Cultural Trust is a forum of likeminded, cosmopolitan, and enthusiastic people who have come together with a vision to create a forum for organizing and enjoying cultural functions centring around some major festivals. It started with a group of nostalgic Bengalis who wanted to have a feel of Calcutta during the Durga Puja in Pune. Starting in 2017, the initial group was subsequently joined by several other people from various backgrounds and speaking different languages, but with a shared interest in art and culture. Agomoni Cultural Association now is growing to a big organization and formally registered as a Trust few years ago. It is run professionally by its members, who have volunteered to take up the extra workload for the sake of some fun and entertainment along with spirituality and seva bhava at heart for the innumerable people of Pune. Daily ‘nitya puja’| mangalarati| bhog puja of Maa Bhabatarini is performed as per the Bengali Vedic riti and rituals. The main annual events of Agomoni Cultural Association are the Durga Puja and Diwali (Kali Puja) celebrations. The five day long cultural program during Durga Puja has become very popular with the young IT crowd of Pune. All days are packed with fun-n-food-n-frolic. If you're not there, you're surely missing something! We would like to extend the invitation to each Punekar to participate in the celebrations. Do keep checking this FB page and join our WhatsApp group for details of the different events planned throughout year. Motto
Our motto is to provide a forum to the people of Pune for various social and cultural activities throughout the year. We believe in a cosmopolitan atmosphere with spirituality at its heart. We strive to imbibe and nurture strong cultural and intellectual feelings among everyone. With the world moving at such a fast pace and most people not having enough time to spend for any cultural activity, we thought of providing all of them with a much sought after relaxation, that they might be hankering after throughout the year, and a space where they can feel at home, immerse themselves in music, drama, dance and any form of entertainment for the few days during the festivities of Dussehra, Durga Puja and Deepawali. In most companies and schools and colleges people generally get a few days of holidays. So why not fill these few days with so much fun and frolic and spiritual connect that we all can enrich ourselves for the rest of the starved year?? That's it. And that's what we intend to do. At the same time, we also want people to be aware of their social responsibilities and duties to our country and society. There are many small things that we all can do in our daily life to make our society a much more wonderful place for others, especially for the ones who are not as privileged as most of us. That's why one of our mottos is also to deliver our duties towards social welfare. We've been associated with an organization called "Seva-in-Action", which has been working relentlessly towards educating and empowering people with disabilities. Please come forward and be a part of us and take part in the noble endeavor. Venue – Agomoni Cultural Association
