The Mulajore Jagadhatri Puja was established in 1955 through the dedicated efforts of Late Kishorilal Ghosh, who at the time was serving as the main secretary of the Gramrakhshi Bahini (Village Defense Force)—a community-driven organization committed to safeguarding the interests, safety, and welfare of the villagers. What began as a humble community initiative soon blossomed into a grand socio-religious tradition, deeply embedded in the cultural identity of Mulajore and its surrounding regions.
Since its inception, the Jagadhatri Puja has been celebrated with immense devotion, becoming not just a religious ritual but also a unifying festival that brings people together beyond social, cultural, and economic barriers. Over the decades, the Puja has grown in scale and magnificence, marked by elaborate decorations, artistic pandals, traditional rituals, cultural programs, and the active participation of both locals and visitors.
Today, it stands as one of the most significant cultural and spiritual events in the region, attracting devotees, pilgrims, and tourists alike. The festival symbolizes the community’s resilience, unity, and commitment to preserving tradition while embracing the evolving spirit of celebration. For the people of Mulajore, the Jagadhatri Puja is not only an offering to the goddess but also a legacy of Late Kishorilal Ghosh’s vision—a living testimony of how faith, leadership, and community spirit can transform a village festival into a landmark cultural celebration.
