In 1840, Shibkrishna Daw started the Durga Pujo at their house in Jorasanko. The Daw family originally lived in Satgachia, Bardhaman, before moving to Kolkata. His adopted son, Shibkrishna, became well known in the trade of sulphur, iron, wood and coal. With his success, he began the family’s first Durga Pujo in Jorasanko. The tradition he started more than 180 years ago still continues today, glowing with the same pride and devotion.
