Behind the public festivities is a months-long effort to build a community Durga Puja from the ground up.

Building a Community Durga Puja From Scratch
Unlike established Durga Puja celebrations with decades of traditions, vendor networks and operational experience, Oitijhyo is creating its first-year framework from scratch. Every element requires planning, coordination and teamwork, from venue arrangements and rituals to electricity, stage management, food services, waste management and visitor flow.
The effort demonstrates that a successful community Durga Puja in Hinjawadi involves far more than constructing a pandal. It requires people working behind the scenes to ensure that every part of the celebration functions smoothly.
Volunteers Are the Foundation
Many Oitijhyo organisers are professionals, parents and caregivers balancing community responsibilities with work and family commitments. Planning meetings, supplier discussions, cultural rehearsals and operational coordination often take place after office hours.
Volunteers play an important role in transforming ideas into execution. Their responsibilities can include visitor assistance, cultural activities, bhog coordination, communication, logistics and on-ground support during the six-day celebration.

Creating an Inclusive Durga Puja Experience
For Oitijhyo, the first year is not defined solely by the size of the pandal, celebrity performers or visitor numbers. The focus is on creating a welcoming community environment where rituals are respected, children have opportunities to participate, families can enjoy cultural programs and visitors feel comfortable throughout the celebration.
This approach also creates opportunities for local businesses and brands seeking meaningful Durga Puja sponsorship opportunities in Pune. First-year sponsors can support activities, family experiences, cultural programming or practical event requirements while becoming part of a new community tradition.
What Happens After Dashami?
The work does not end when the festivities conclude. Oitijhyo plans to learn from its first-year experience by reviewing feedback, closing accounts, documenting challenges and identifying processes that can be improved for future celebrations.
The goal is to turn the experience of 2026 into a stronger foundation for future years.
A New Tradition Begins in Hinjawadi
Oitijhyo Sarbojonin’s first Sharodiya Durgotsav represents more than a six-day celebration. It is an opportunity for residents to contribute time, skills, ideas and support toward creating a lasting community tradition.
Before Oitijhyo has history, come help us make it.
