Times Square Durga Puja is a landmark cultural event dedicated to preserving and promoting Bengalis rich culture in the heart of New York City. Our mission is to provide a platform for Bengali expatriates, enthusiasts, and celebrate the vibrant heritage of Bengalis.

Our event serves as a bridge between generations and communities. Beyond preserving traditions, Times Square Durga Puja is aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We wish to make a significant impact through our cultural, social, and environmental initiatives.

Promote Sustainable Practices

We are dedicated to eco-friendly initiatives throughout the event. By using biodegradable materials for decorations and offering reusable souvenirs, we reduce our environmental footprint. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in our collaboration with sponsors who promote green practices. It aligns with Climate Action (SDG 13) and Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11).

Empower Communities

Our festival supports artisans and entrepreneurs (especially women) provides opportunities to showcase their crafts and talents. Through workshops and collaborations with South Asian artists, we empower small businesses and promote traditional crafts. These efforts support economic growth (SDG 8) and advance gender equality (SDG 5).

Foster Global Partnerships

We point up the importance of partnerships for sustainable development (SDG 17). Our initiatives contribute to reducing inequalities (SDG 10) and promoting quality education (SDG 4). Together, we enrich communities and inspire global unity through the shared celebration of Durga Puja.
