🏛️ Bengali Club USA Durga Puja — History & Background
Bengali Club USA Durga Puja appears to be the same organization — The Bengali Club of USA — that organized the first-ever Durga Puja at New York's Times Square, held October 5–6, 2024, as a free public two-day event. It followed Durga Puja's 2021 UNESCO recognition as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and has continued in subsequent years as a widely covered milestone event for Bengali culture in America. If this is a different, separate regular community puja by the same club rather than the Times Square event itself, please confirm the distinction with the organizers.
