New Pujo · Same Emotion

We may be new, but the feeling is the same: dhak, devotion, adda, and the warmth of coming home. This is Abahan’s first year organizing Durga Puja in the Bay Area. Join us and help shape a tradition that grows for years to come.

Abahan Bay Area is dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of Hindu traditions in San Francisco Bay Area. Our mission is to bring families together through the sacred observance of Durga Puja. We have been the spiritual home for Bengali families seeking an authentic Puja experience for years, fostering cultural bonds and celebrating with devotion.
