Durga Puja Cultural Experience in Rural Sylhet

Experience Durga Puja, one of the most sacred celebrations in Bengali Hindu culture, from within the community that brings it to life. Charubala Homestay & Tours welcomes a small number of international travelers into our rural Hindu family home in Juri for three days and two nights. Share vegetarian home-cooked meals, neighbourhood gatherings, worship, evening arati and cultural activities. Travel by local van through rural villages, visit Puja temples and see how decorations, rituals and customs vary between communities. On Vijaya Dashami, experience Sindoor Khela, the farewell procession, Bisorjon and Shanti Jol with guidance from your host. Visit a tea-garden community and a Manipuri Hindu village, learning about their traditions, food and daily life during the festival. From the traditional welcome to the final family farewell, this journey offers a rare and meaningful connection to rural Sylhet. Guests are welcomed not simply as visitors, but as part of the Charubala family.
