Go pandal hopping at Barasat Kali Puja 2026, light diyas and crackers on Diwali 2026, watch the fireworks with friends and talk on voice chat — for free, from anywhere in the world. It is made for families far from home, for anyone who can't travel to the pandals, and for everyone who wants a festival night without smoke, crowds or traffic.
A Diwali night in a lamp-lit neighbourhood: thousands of diyas, rangoli at every door and dhol in the temple courtyard. Pick an anar, chakri or rocket, set it down and light it with your phuljhari. Every six minutes a grand fireworks show lights the lake, followed by the aarti and a drone show.
Places: Light crackers, Fireworks show, Drone show, Lakshmi puja, Deep Path, Cracker bazaar, Stands, Diwali gate.
Walk a Barasat Kali Puja night in 3D: theme pandals with towering idols, Chandannagar light gates, dhunuchi naach on the stage, the pukur ghat and a full mela with a giant wheel, circus and phuchka. Go pandal hopping with friends and talk by voice chat.
Places: Welcome gate, Golden Palace, Para Puja, Navaratna, Stage, Giant wheel, Food street, Circus, Pirate ship, Bhog.
The whole of central Kolkata from the map: every street, the Metro's real stations, Howrah Bridge and Victoria Memorial.
