Durga Puja gifts distributed in Gopalganj

To share the joy of autumn festivities with underprivileged communities, the Gopalganj district unit of Bashundhara Shuvosangho distributed Sharodiya Durga Puja gifts among destitute Hindu families on Thursday.

New clothes were handed over to temple priests, caregivers, cleaners, and support staff on the premises of the Gopalganj Sarbajanin Central Kalibari Durga Temple.

Recipients expressed heartfelt gratitude upon receiving new attire ahead of Sanatan devotees' largest religious festival. Minati Sarkar (Minu), a cleaner at the temple who could not afford to purchase festive clothing this year, shared her joy upon receiving a new sari. "Puja has arrived, yet I could not afford a new sari. Wearing the sari you gave me, I will now go to celebrate the puja. I bless you all from the bottom of my heart," she said.

Sunil Chakraborty, head priest of the central Kalibari, was presented with a traditional dhoti and panjabi. Offering his prayers for the initiative, he said, "I pray to God for the Bashundhara Group so that they continue to have the strength to stand by more marginalised people."

Bashundhara Shuvosangho Gopalganj district unit President Sujan Das said, "Bashundhara Group always stands by the people. Continuing that legacy, its social welfare platform distributed festive gifts to disadvantaged families so they can celebrate Puja with joy. We hope this support continues."
