Durga Pujo - An emotion
One to reach office usually early, I was getting ready for the day’s schedule. As I stood at the common printer collecting the documents, I saw a senior colleague walking up to his cabin.
History
North Bombay Durga Puja Sarbojanin Charitable Trust was founded by Mr. Shasadhar Mukerji of Bombay Talkies, Mr. J. M. Bhadra and other family members and like-minded people of the Santacruz area. The founding committee consisted of 26 members, led by Mr. Shasadhar Mukerji as its President.
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.
Sashdhar, a Hindi films producer and a Padma Shri awardee, for his contributions in the fields of art and entertainment, was part of the distinguished Mukerji clan of Bollywood, He is also described as the founder of Filmistan studios. The Trust organized its first Durga Puja at Street Mandal Hall, Poddar School Santacruz. In the early years Sri Ram Ghosal took the responsibility of Secretary till the year 1973 then Shri Ram Mukerji followed by Mr. Sanat Chakraborty and now Mr. Deb Mukerji is the flag bearer. The event was a harbinger of similar events over the decades, which saw the Trust's popularity growing spectacularly.
