What Is Special About Naktala Udayan Sangha in 2026?
The biggest highlight of the 2026 celebration is the committee's 40th year.
The puja began in 1986, and the anniversary gives the organisers an opportunity to mark four decades of their Durga Puja journey in Naktala.
The committee also began its 2026 preparations with Khuti Puja on June 29, held on the occasion of Snan Yatra.
Naktala Udayan Sangha 2026 Banner: “Kaal Dhwani”
A 2026 banner titled “Kaal Dhwani” has already been unveiled.
The artwork was created by artist Anirban Das, known in Kolkata's Puja circles as Anirban Pandalwala. The banner uses imagery connected with time, tradition and religious celebration.
The banner gives visitors an early indication of the creative direction for 2026. However, it should not automatically be treated as the final pandal theme until the organisers confirm it.

Naktala Udayan Sangha Durga Puja Dates 2026

How to Reach Naktala Udayan Sangha
Naktala is connected with several parts of South Kolkata by road and public transport.
You can travel by bus, taxi, auto-rickshaw or Metro and then continue towards Naktala.

Naktala Udayan Sangha by Metro
Metro can be a practical choice during the busiest Puja evenings.
If you are travelling from another part of Kolkata, use the Metro for the longer part of your journey and take local transport for the remaining distance.
Check the Metro service and last-train information before starting a late-night pandal-hopping trip.
What Can You See at Naktala Udayan Sangha?
The main attraction is the Durga Puja pandal and the artistic presentation created for the year.
Visitors can also experience the lighting, Durga idol, decorations and the local festive atmosphere around Naktala.
Since 2026 marks the committee's 40th year, the anniversary itself adds interest to this year's celebration.
Best Way to Visit During Durga Puja
If you are visiting several South Kolkata pandals, avoid treating Naktala as a single isolated destination.
Build your route around nearby areas and allow enough time for walking and local transport.
For a more relaxed visit: Consider reaching Naktala before the evening rush.
For lighting: Visit after sunset but expect more people.
