Festivals

As usual with Bengalis the Durga Puja is the biggest festival around. Some of the pujas known for their lavish artistic renditions:
1. Nabarun: Can't miss it. Right beside the National Highway, it is huge. With cash flowing in from the business community of Benachity, it is undoubtedly one of the best pujas around.
2. Marconi: Critics say, it is the local party leader that makes sure money pours in. This undoubtedly is a great puja.
There are scores others....
The Rath Fair is an old style fair organized every year at the fairgrounds near the Chitralaya theater. Fun place to go and buy stuff you really do not need. Takes place for seven days during the RathaYatra festival.
Industrial Fair: Most Durgapur-ites hard working people and generally believe in industry and technology. Industry plays a major role in the Ruhr of India(thats what they call Durgapur) and hence this fair, held in November generally, is of vital importance. It seems that in 2005, industrial investments to the tune of Rs 30,000.00 crores were promised during the fair.

Apart from these, cultural events are organized all throughout the year in pockets. Pujas and the Autumn-Winter season sees the most.
