Durga Puja invitations for pandal and home

Pujo is the time Bengalis everywhere come home, wherever home is that year. A community pandal in Kolkata, Delhi or Bengaluru runs a full schedule across Shashthi to Dashami: bodhon, pushpanjali, bhog, sandhi puja, cultural evenings, dhunuchi naach, and finally sindoor khela and Bijoya. Families who hold a home puja invite relatives to join for anjali and bhog.

    Track RSVPs

    On Pro (₹99), guests reply inside the invite and you see who is coming to each event.

A funvite Durga Puja invite can carry that whole schedule in stories guests tap through, or open as an envelope with alpana patterns and a red-and-white border. Share one link with the pandal committee group or your family, and update it if timings change. Celebrating Navratri with garba instead? See Navratri garba invitations.

What a Pujo invite usually includes

  • The days: Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navami and Dashami, with dates.
  • Anjali timings, especially Ashtami pushpanjali, when the most people come.
  • Bhog: which days, the timing, and whether guests need coupons.
  • Sandhi puja timing — this changes every year, so check your panjika or the committee.
  • Cultural programmes, dhunuchi competitions and adda evenings.
  • Sindoor khela and Bijoya on Dashami, and the immersion plan.
  • Venue, parking and a contact person from the committee.

Bijoya gatherings

After Dashami, families visit one another for Bijoya — pranam to elders, hugs to friends, and plates of sweets such as narkel naru and nimki. Many families send a Bijoya invite for an evening at home in the weeks after Pujo. It is a lovely, simple invite to send digitally to relatives who live in other cities.

Questions

Frequently asked

What should a Durga Puja invitation include?

The days and dates from Shashthi to Dashami, anjali and bhog timings, sandhi puja time, cultural programmes, sindoor khela, and the venue. For a home puja, focus on the anjali time and bhog.

Can I write the invite in Bengali?

Yes. All text supports Bengali script, and this page has a short Bengali wording you can edit.

Sandhi puja timing changes every year. Can I update the invite?

Yes. Edit the invite any time and the same link shows the new timings, so you do not have to resend anything.

Can our puja committee use it for the whole pandal schedule?

Yes. Put each day in as an event with Pro, and members can RSVP for bhog by day — handy for coupon counts.

Is there a Bijoya invite?

Use any warm, simple template and the Bijoya wording above. It works well for an evening at home after Pujo.
