Our Journey

Our Journey: From a Celebration to a Cultural MovementSHAROD began in 2017 with our first Durga Puja in Swindon, followed by vibrant celebrations of Rabindra-Nazrul Jayanti and Pohela Boishakh. As enthusiasm grew, we saw the need for a dedicated platform to preserve and share the rich heritage of Bengali culture. See more

Our Impact

SHAROD has grown from a single Durga Puja celebration in 2017 into a vibrant cultural force in Swindon and beyond. Each year, we engage hundreds of families through grand festivals, community picnics, literary events, and food festivals that celebrate the richness of Bengali heritage. See more
