Durga Puja 2026 in Santa Coloma de Gramenet: Dates, Venue & Schedule

Sharadiya Durga Puja 2026 in Santa Coloma de Gramenet

Five days of puja, from Mahasashti to Vijayadashami — with the fragrance of shiuli flowers and the rhythm of the dhak. Jai Maa Durga! 🙏

Hindu Festival Organization is inviting Barcelona's Bengali and wider Hindu community to celebrate Sharadiya Durga Puja 2026 from Friday, 16 October to Wednesday, 21 October at a venue on Avinguda dels Banús in Santa Coloma de Gramenet. The flyer's own words are a warm, simple invitation: "with the fragrance of shiuli flowers, the sway of kash flowers, the rhythm of dhak, and the arrival of joy, Sharadiya Durga Puja is here once again."

Here's everything printed on the official flyer, laid out day by day, plus a map, a one-click way to add it to your calendar, and — just as honestly — what the flyer doesn't tell us.

Quick facts

Five-day schedule

This is exactly what the flyer lists for each ritual day, with the Bengali calendar date alongside the Gregorian one. Note that the flyer names Maha Saptami across two consecutive dates (17–18 October) — we've transcribed it exactly as printed rather than guess at what that means.

  Mahasashti

  28 Ashwin, 1433 (Bengali calendar). The opening day of the puja.

• 17–18 OctSat–Sun

  Maha Saptami

  29–30 Ashwin, 1433. Listed on the flyer as spanning both dates.

• 19 OctMon

  Maha Ashtami

  1 Kartik, 1433. Widely observed as the most significant day of the puja.

• 20 OctTue

  Mahanavami

Getting there & map

The venue address on the flyer is Av. dels Banús, 103, 08923, Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Barcelona — a short walk from Santa Coloma's town centre. We haven't been able to independently confirm what kind of venue this is (community hall, hired space, or similar), so budget a little extra time to find it on the day.

What to expect

The flyer lists dates only, not an hour-by-hour programme. Based on how Sharadiya Durga Puja is traditionally observed by Bengali communities, here's generally what these five days involve — check with the organisers directly for this event's exact timings.

• Daily puja rituals before the Durga idol, typically through morning and evening across all five days
• Pushpanjali — a collective flower offering, usually held on the main puja days
• Sandhi Puja, the ritual marking the junction between Ashtami and Navami, observed by many committees as a key moment
• Prasad distributed to devotees after worship
• Sindoor khela and visarjan (idol immersion) traditionally close the celebration on Vijayadashami

Good to know

The organisers confirmed these numbers for public contact: +34 610 826 244, +34 631 147 676 and +34 633 451 645. You can also ask in Catalunyaar's WhatsApp channel if you'd rather go through the community first.

One more thing worth knowing: this isn't the only Durga Puja observance in the Barcelona area this October. This page covers specifically the Santa Coloma de Gramenet celebration organised by Hindu Festival Organization — if a search brought you here looking for a different Durga Puja listing elsewhere in the city, you may be looking for a separate event by a separate organiser.
