Sarathi in news: since 2012
2013
“The
purohit has to fast but it is up to other people whether they want to fast or
not. It’s just that if you do not fast then you cannot offer the pushpanjali.
We don’t hold any animal sacrifices but we do offer an ash gourd as a
sacrifice,” said Mita
Pal, an organiser of the Sarathi Kali Puja at Koramangala.

Mangala Kalyana Mantapa, 80 Ft Road, Koramangala, 8th Block (near Aangan
restaurant)
In
Koramangala, the pandal by Sarathi Cultural Association is more contemporary in terms
of the crowd and the stalls. With many popular restaurants putting up their
stalls here, visitors can feast their tastebuds with Hyderabadi biryani, fish
fry and rice or even cutlets and rolls.

“Earlier
all the Bengalis of this city had to travel all the way to Ulsoor for Kali
puja. So, we decided to conduct a puja in Koramangala itself. We formed an
association, 'Sarathi
Socio Cultural Trust' and started celebrating Kali puja besides the
usual Durga puja,” said Sudipto
Das, member of Sarathi
socio-cultural Trust of Koramangala.
Nowadays,
even the non-bengalis have joined in this celebration. Says Saurav Mathur, a
resident of Sarjapur road, “I was associated with a group which used to
organise Durga puja. Since then, I have been heavily influenced with all these
pujas.”

Durgotsav
2012, which would be celebrated by the Sarathi Socio Cultural Trust at Mangala
Kalyana Mantapa, is one of the major events. One of the organisers said there
are various fun-filled activities lined up, some of which include performances
by Bengali pop artistes and bands along with a homemade food fiesta.

Sarathi Socio-Cultural Trust
is organizing its 10th edition of
the Puja. The 5-day cultural extravaganza, called Sammad, will be held at
Mangala Kalyana Mantapa, 8th Block, 80 Feet Road, Koramangala.
"We encourage all people, irrespective of community, to participate in the
Puja," said Sudipto
Das, a member of Sarathi.
“We
would be bringing the original old idol of Durga during the puja this year. We
have been distributing free bhog everyday and will have a lot of cultural
programmes during the festival,” says Alok Basu, the chairman of the Sarathi Socio-Cultural Trust
in Koramangala.

“If
(the) IT (sector) as such doesn’t pick up, it’s very tough for events to happen
in Bangalore,” said Sudipto
Das, who handles cultural events at the Sarathi Socio-Cultural Trust, which
organises the Puja at Koramangala, a locality home to many IT firms and
professionals.
“Finance
is tough this year also,” said Das, adding that the number of small sponsors
“has reduced a lot”.
The
Koramangala puja, which sees at least 1.5 lakh to 2 lakh visitors over the four
days, will spend around Rs 18-19 lakh as against Rs 22 lakh last year in an
attempt to optimise costs, he said.

Attractions of 2011
No doubt this year we would be hosting one of our greatest events till date. To start with, we're breaking the ground with none other than Kavita Krishnamurty on Shashthi, that's 2nd October. Being a Sunday we're sure that most of your guys would find it convenient to come to our arena and enjoy a wonderful evening. I don't think we need to give you any introduction about our star artiste.
I know that there are other attractions at other places during Durga Puja. You would get to see some famous personalities from Calcutta. But we at Sarathi Socio Cultural Trust believe in always surprising you something. Our events are meant to give you a wholesome entertainment. If you've been a regular at our shows you already know what our USP is. We believe in entertaining not only you, but your kids, your parents, your friends who don't speak Bengali. Our motto is to entertain whoever comes to our place, whoever comes with you. Many programs may be rich in Bengali culture or tradition but it may not be appreciated by everyone. We never forget that being in Bangalore we can't be too regional. Bengali culture and tradition is great, no doubt. But as they say, when in Rome be a Roman. Wen out of Bengal be an Indian rather than a Bengali. That's the motivation of having lot of Hindi programs. We're proud to associate us with not only the Bengali people of Bangalore but also with anyone who chooses to stop by the Mangala Kalyan Mantapa.
And from that point of view none other than Kavita Krishnamurty can represent a pan Indian event. She speaks Bengali, sings Bengali songs and her fame as a Hindi playback singer is beyond any debate.
Apart from Kavita Krishnamurty we have Indian Blues, a fusion band featuring a grandson of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan Saheb. Last year they had performed on Shashthi and had mesmerized with their unique music - they did Beatles, accompanied by Sarod. Isn't that fabulous. They would be enthralling you this time on Saptami, 3rd October.
Lastly, we have the young star from Calcutta - Iman!! Do a google search on him. He would be your Indian Idol on Navami!!
