At first, he took shelter in the house of Basudev Bhattacharya, a resident of this village. Later, he built his own home here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Bharatchandra\u2019s time, Surul Rajbari Durga Puja started in this house.

A set of almost 300-year-old weapons is placed in the hands of the idol.

At first, he took shelter in the house of Basudev Bhattacharya, a resident of this village. Later, he built his own home here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Bharatchandra\u2019s time, Surul Rajbari Durga Puja started in this house. His son Krishnahari\u2019s son, Srinibas, was involved in different businesses with the British.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumbnail-blog-10-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"Surul Rajbari Durga Puja\" class=\"wp-image-2091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumbnail-blog-10-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumbnail-blog-10-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumbnail-blog-10-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumbnail-blog-10-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Thumbnail-blog-10.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Surul Rajbari Durga Puja<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As a result, he became well known and respected among them.

It is said that because of this connection, Rabindranath Tagore once visited this Surul Rajbari Durga Puja with Mahatma Gandhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People also say that the Tagore family received some land from this Rajbari for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shantiniketan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santiniketan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Surul_Rajbari_Durga_Puja_Rituals\"><\/span>Surul Rajbari Durga Puja Rituals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Durga Puja of Surul Rajbari is very famous because of its unique traditions.

A set of almost 300-year-old weapons is placed in the hands of the idol. During the Puja days, the idol is also decorated with family gold jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the beginning of the festival, the entire Rajbari shines under the glow of beautiful chandeliers brought all the way from Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/surul-rajbari-durga-puja-1-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"Surul Rajbari Durga Puja\" class=\"wp-image-2093\" style=\"width:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/surul-rajbari-durga-puja-1-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/surul-rajbari-durga-puja-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/surul-rajbari-durga-puja-1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/surul-rajbari-durga-puja-1-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/surul-rajbari-durga-puja-1-96x96.webp 96w, https:\/\/durgapujacountdown.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/surul-rajbari-durga-puja-1.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Surul Rajbari Durga Puja<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>One special thing that attracts everyone is that no electric lights are used during the Puja days – the whole palace glows softly in candlelight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Saptami to Navami, animal sacrifice (bali) takes place every day in this Puja.
