About Durgotsava 2026
Every autumn, Barcelona's Bengali community brings the goddess home for six days.
This year, Asociación Cultura Hindú, Barcelona is hosting its Sarbajanin Sharad Utsav (universal autumn festival) at Aquarella Music Restaurant on Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, right in L'Eixample.
The organisers' own flyer carries a full hour-by-hour schedule for all six ritual days, plus a bank account for anyone who'd like to contribute. This page transcribes that schedule exactly as printed, and adds a map, a one-click way to add the dates to your calendar, and the donation details — so you have everything you need in one place before 16 October.
What to expect
- Ghot Sthapan on Mahashashti evening, marking the goddess's arrival
- Pushpanjali — a collective flower offering, held each main puja day
- Prasad distributed to devotees every afternoon across all six days
- Evening aarti and cultural programmes, including a special performance by renowned artists on 18 October
- Sindoor khela closes the celebration on Bijoya, 21 October

Source & verification
Details on this page are transcribed from Asociación Cultura Hindú's own flyer for Durgotsava 2026. We couldn't find an independent website or social media page for the association beyond this flyer. Barcelona's municipal archive has previously documented the association hosting Durga Puja at this same Gran Via address in past years, which lines up with what's on this flyer — but for anything the flyer doesn't cover, contacting them directly is the safest way to confirm it. Catalunyaar is not the event organiser; please confirm time-sensitive details directly with the organisers. Last checked 30 September 2026.
