Deonar Bongiya Parishad (DBP) is a registered (No: Bom / F-5613 GBBSC) socio-cultural association of Bengali people in Anushaktinagar and Deonar region

It promotes the Bengali culture and maintain socio-cultural relation with other regional communities. DBP started it’s journey in Anushaktinagar in the year 1975 by a group of enthusiastic bengali scientists of Bhabha Atomic research Centre. The idea behind this formation was to create an umbrella for all nearby bengali people to conduct annual events, such as Durga Puja and Kali puja. The first ever Durgapuja was held at Anushaktinagar in 1975 followed by official registration of DBP as a trust in 1978. By the year 1991, AnushatinagarKalibari Association, which was run by another group of bengali people, was merged with DeonarBongiyaParishad with a bigger aim to promote bengali culture. DBP started weekly Bengali class among local children and interested adults to teach and promote bengaliwriting and reading skill. A massive membership drive was organised and moer than 600 people was enrolled as life member of DBP.
Presently DBP organizes annual competitions - drawing, sports, music, recitation, and the Annual PratishthaDibas. Music, dance, yoga & Bengali language classes are held regularly. It has a library of Bengali books and magazines and a Kali temple where regular puja and Amabashya Pujas are held.

Kali Mandir

The history of establishment of Kali mandir at Anushaktinagar

The history of establishment of Kali mandir at Anushaktinagar is dated long ago in 1983, when AnsuhaktinagaKalibari Association (AKA) had raised fund to establish a small Kali temple at Anushaktinagar. The kali temple was popular among local bengali people it got support from others too. However, with the expansion of Anushaktinagar residential complex, it was necessary to relocate many religious establishments to a new designated area. In 1991 AnsuhaktinagaKalibari Association was formally merged with DBP for bigger purposes and constructed the present Kali temple. The present Kali Mandir was inaugurated in 24th March of 1993 and from there on, this day is being celebrated as the Establishment day of DBP. The architecture and internal decorations of Kali Mandir was upgraded time to time.

Amavasya Puja was held at Kali Mandir in every Amavasya which remains a great attraction among the people of Anushaktinagar. Apart from annual festivals, the Kalimandir is open to the devotees every day from 7am to 10 am in the morning as well as 6pm to 9pm in the evening.
