We have heard the term 'Barowari Durga Puja' a lot. But what is Barowari? This term originated in Guptipara, a town located in the Hooghly district of West Bengal, when a few friends were not allowed to take part in a household Durga Puja. In the 18th century, Durga Puja was primarily celebrated by the zamindars and other rich families in and around Calcutta. So when these group of people weren't allowed in the Durga Puja held by the Sen Bari, they formed the first publicly organized community Durga Puja which came to be known as Barowari meaning twelve friends (Baro = 12, Yaari = Friends). Seen in this picture is one of the Vaishnavaite Temples of Guptipara which is one of the main attractions of the place.
