About Agradut Club

Agradut Club, also referred to locally as Barisha Agradut Sangha, is a Durga Puja committee based in the Barisha area of Behala in South Kolkata, near Sakher Bazar. Situated close to Behala Chowrasta, the club is counted among the longstanding non-themed pujas of the neighbourhood, known for a deeply revered idol and a strong community following rather than elaborate conceptual pandals. Over the years Agradut has built a reputation for its Saraswati Puja as much as for Durga Puja, anchoring seasonal festivities for the surrounding paras. The committee organises the usual cycle of rituals — khuti puja, bodhon, anjali, sandhi puja and visarjan — alongside cultural programmes and community bhog that draw families from across Behala. Behala's puja landscape is famously dense, and Agradut holds its own as a traditional, devotion-centred celebration. Public documentation and recent theme details for the club are sparse, and no official theme is widely recorded. Visitors to South Kolkata during the festival will find Agradut Club representative of the area's many paras-level pujas, where the appeal lies in familiarity, craftsmanship of the idol, and the neighbourhood's collective spirit.
