Hridaypur Srija

Saraswati Puja 2025

Worship of Goddess Saraswati

As in every year, this year too, we celebrated the worship of Goddess Saraswati at our Kora Centre in a simple and humble manner.

The students themselves took responsibility for everything—from shopping for the necessary items to setting up the pandal.

They were supported by our teachers and the dedicated women volunteers ("Kakis").

Through such experiences, the children gradually learn to take responsibility and work together.

After the puja, students, teachers, and volunteers enjoyed a joyful community meal together.

The menu included fried rice, aloo dum (spiced potato curry), and chutney. Due to limited space this year, the meals were arranged as takeaway parcels.

Death anniversary of Mrs. Suprabha Chakraborty

Tribute on the Death Anniversary

Late Mrs. Suprabha Chakraborty

With Gratitude – Mrs. Anita Chakraborty

On 2 February,2025

Mrs. Anita Chakraborty, a member of Hridaypur Srija, observed the death anniversary of her late mother, Mrs. Suprabha Chakraborty, with the children of our Kora Centre.

As they do for every special occasion, the children made all the arrangements themselves. They collected flowers from the garden and beautifully decorated the seating area.

The program began with a prayer song, followed by a moment of silence, during which the children prayed for the eternal peace of Late Mrs. Suprabha Chakraborty's soul.

The children then paid their heartfelt tribute by offering flowers at her portrait.

On this occasion, Mrs. Anita Chakraborty arranged an evening snack for everyone.

The menu included luchi, aloo dum, and oranges.

We pray for the eternal peace of Late Mrs. Suprabha Chakraborty's soul. May she rest in peace. We also pray that all the members of her family remain healthy, happy, and blessed.

Birthday Celebration of Mr. Binayaak Nandy

Happy Birthday

Our new friend from Barasat, Mrs. Abhilasha Siddhanta, lost her husband, Mr. Binayak Nandy, far too soon. In his loving memory, his family celebrated his birthday with the children of our Kora Centre on 30th January, 2025

The children, together with the Nandy family, beautifully decorated the seating area with roses and tuberoses. The floral arrangements were lovingly provided by the Nandy family.

The program began with a prayer song, during which the children prayed for the eternal peace of Mr. Binayak Nandy's soul, followed by a moment of silence. One by one, the children offered flowers at his portrait as a mark of respect.

Although he is no longer with us, the children made his birthday truly special by organizing a small cultural program in his memory.

After the program, the Nandy family arranged dinner for everyone.

The menu included rice, lentils, fried potatoes, cauliflower curry, mutton, chutney, and sweets.

We pray for the eternal peace of Mr. Binayak Nandy's soul. May he rest peacefully.

Mr. Sharadindu Khan contacted us on behalf of Mr. Nandy's family to organize this meaningful event. We wish the entire family strength, peace, and happiness.

Our heartfelt thanks to them for standing by us. We also extend our sincere gratitude to his elder sister, Mrs. Bitan Biswas, and her family for their wholehearted support and cooperation.

Sitabja's Birthday Celebration

Happy Birthday

Our friend and well-wisher from Madhyamgram, along with his son, Sitabja Ghosh, celebrated Sitabja's birthday with the children of our Kora Centre on 26th January.

The children celebrated their friend's birthday in their own unique style. They made handmade gifts to make the occasion extra special and even organized a small cultural program for him. As a mark of blessings from the elders, we followed our tradition of blessing the birthday child with paddy and sacred grass (durba), which symbolizes wishes for a smooth and prosperous journey through life.

Later, Sitabja's family generously gifted the students drawing materials and snacks for the day. We are deeply touched by their kindness and heartfelt support.

Many heartfelt wishes and lots of love to Sitabja. Stay happy and healthy, dear, and grow up to become a wonderful person.

Thank you so much to your family for always standing by us and supporting our efforts.
