Youth icon and actress Riva Arora recently brought starry charm to the festive season by visiting the popular Andheri Link Road Sarbojanik Durga Puja in Mumbai. Taking time out to soak in the divine atmosphere, the young actress offered prayers and sought the blessings of Maa Durga during the grand celebrations marking the pandal's milestone 18th anniversary.

This year, the high-profile celebration—organized under the visionary leadership of Founder Chairman Krishnendu Sen—has captured the imagination of Mumbai’s cultural enthusiasts with its unique theme, “Dear Bengal.” The overarching artistic concept beautifully highlights the deep-rooted art, literature, and heritage of Bengal, transforming the pandal into a vibrant cultural hub.

Adding intellectual and historical depth to the 2026 edition, the puja pays glowing tributes to four legendary stalwarts who have defined and immortalized Bengali culture globally: Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, auteur filmmaker Satyajit Ray, literary pioneer Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, and cinematic icon Uttam Kumar.

Reflecting on the grand milestone, Founder Chairman Krishnendu Sen shared that completing 18 years is a proud journey for the organization, noting that the "Dear Bengal" theme serves as a heartfelt homage to cultural icons whose enduring legacies continue to inspire successive generations. Riva Arora’s gracious presence added a special celebratory sparkle to the evening, uniting devotees, artists, and culture lovers in a shared expression of devotion and festive joy.
