CCI has been busy. We have been busy planning the sixteenth annual Cincinnati Durga Utsav in Cincinnati, Ohio. Yes, this is going to be our 16th year of celebrating our very own parar pujo in Cincinnati !
 
We have been thinking about what makes Cincinnati's Durga Puja special for everyone. So, what makes our Durga Puja special?
 
Is it the food?  SURE! Well, we will have fabulous food from the best Indian restaurants in the city, together with special home made items from our own kitchens.
 
Is it the cultural programs? SURE! There will be lots of music and dancing, theater and instrumental performances by children and grown ups. There will be special groups performing this year. 
 
Is it the “para'r pujo” we reminisce about? SURE! We are the best of all worlds. We are large enough to have dhunuchi naach and yet small enough where “everybody knows your name” in addition to the non-stop adda that goes on all three days.
