Our North Bombay Sarbajonin Durga puja is one of the oldest and grandest puja in Mumbai which was founded in 1948 by Padmashri Sashadhar Mukerji and his wife Smt Satirani Mukerji. The first puja took place in Sri Mandal hall in Santacruz, since then it has flourished and grown bigger with active member participation. Over the years it has maintained its 'Gharua' roots, where all are welcome to be part of the family.
