About Central Vidyasagar Club

Central Vidyasagar Club is a Durga Puja committee based in the Baghajatin area of South Kolkata. The club organises an annual community Durga Puja that draws residents of Baghajatin and the surrounding paras. In keeping with the barowari tradition, the committee raises a pandal, installs a traditional idol, and conducts the full calendar of rituals — khuti puja, bodhon, anjali, sandhi puja and visarjan — supplemented by cultural programmes and community bhog. Baghajatin sits among the many South Kolkata localities whose autumn is defined by neighbourhood pujas, and Central Vidyasagar Club is a familiar name within that circuit. Public records on the club's history, founding year, and any recurring theme are limited, and no specific theme is widely documented from open sources. The appeal of the puja lies in its community-driven, devotion-centred character. Pandal-hoppers in South Kolkata will encounter Central Vidyasagar Club as a typical paras-level celebration, where local participation and the craftsmanship of the idol matter more than large conceptual installations.
