NZ Sarbojonin Durgotsav 2016

“I wear the face of Kali when I kill 
I am charged by God to do his mighty work 
I reason not of virtue and of sin 
But do the deed he has put into my heart.”
 

... (Savitri Book Seven-Canto Four)

Our annual grand event for which we wait all year round is here again. The sound of shaankh, smell of dhuno and shiffling of saris,  gorgeous ladies in their beautiful attires brings back sweet reminiscences of Durgotsav. 
We are celebrating the long awaited Durga Puja on 7th, 8th and 9th October 2016. 
Venue:
Ram Mandir 
11 Brick Street, Henderson,
Auckland.
You all are invited to join us in this Grand Silver Jubilee Celebration of Sarbonin Durgotsav...
