Planning a Durga Puja evening in Jaipur? Start with the area you want to explore. You can spend time at the Bani Park pandals, head towards Malviya Nagar or keep an evening for Murlipura. Trying to cross the whole city in one go usually leaves less time for darshan. Here are 15 Durga Puja pandals and community celebrations to consider in Jaipur for 2026, with venue names and nearby landmarks to help you plan. Choose two or three in the same area, leave time for the queues, and enjoy the evening at your own pace. Before you go: the locations below follow the shared 2026 community pandal guide. Daily opening hours, cultural programmes, bhog arrangements and access have not been confirmed individually for every venue. Check the organiser’s latest update before leaving.
A few photographs from Jaipur. The exact pandal locations of these images have not been identified; they do not correspond to the numbered venues below.
Venue: D-166, Durga Bari Marg, Bani Park. Durga Bari is a familiar name in Jaipur’s Durga Puja celebrations and a good starting point for a Bani Park visit. It is also among the venues featured in this year’s city coverage. Save the full address rather than searching only for a pandal somewhere in Bani Park. If you want another stop in the area, check the Jaipur Sarbojanin Durga Puja venue near Gulab Udyan, listed below.
Venue: Kali Mata Temple, Sector 10, Malviya Nagar. Jaipur Kalibari Society is an option for a Malviya Nagar puja evening. The community guide places the celebration at the Kali Mata Temple in Sector 10, so include the sector when checking directions. There are several Malviya Nagar entries in this list. Pick the ones you want to see and check the journey between them before deciding how many to cover.
Venue: Marriage Paradise, Malviya Nagar, near Genpact on JLN Marg. This celebration is listed at Marriage Paradise and also appears in current Jaipur event listings. Keep both the venue name and the Genpact landmark handy when arranging a ride. It is a separate celebration from Sarbojanin Puja Utsav Samiti in Murlipura. Similar organiser names can make searches confusing, so check the venue before following a map result.
Venue: Haldiya Garden, near Apex Circle, Malviya Nagar. For this puja, look for Haldiya Garden near Apex Circle. It gives visitors another option on the Malviya Nagar side, without needing to head across Jaipur to see a second pandal. Use the garden name while asking for directions; searching only for “Sarbojanin Durga Puja” may bring up another committee’s celebration.
Venue: Veda premises, Bhawani Singh Road, near Rambagh Circle. Anandoprabha brings an art element to this year’s celebrations. City coverage describes an exhibition called Rupa–Arupa alongside the puja, exploring different expressions of Shakti. If you would like to see the exhibition as well as attend darshan, check its visiting hours separately. A puja programme and an exhibition may not follow the same daily schedule.
Venue: Jai Club Lawns, Ashok Marg, C-Scheme. The Probasi Bengali Cultural Society has announced its 2026 Durga Puja at Jai Club Lawns. The celebration includes traditional worship and cultural activities, with Anandomela among the events reported this year. This is a useful choice if you want a centrally located stop. Check the day’s programme before setting out if you are coming specifically for a performance or food event.
Venue: Ganpati Paradise, Murlipura, near Dadi Ka Phatak. A.P.M.S. Club’s venue is listed as Ganpati Paradise near Dadi Ka Phatak. It is one of three Murlipura-area options in this guide. Start with the venue closest to your approach road, then decide whether you have time for another. You do not need to rush through all three to make the evening worthwhile.
Venue: Krishna Palace Marriage Garden, Murlipura. This year’s reported Rauli–Mauli theme uses the sacred threads associated with worship as part of the pandal’s design. The shared venue guide lists the celebration at Krishna Palace Marriage Garden. Keep some time to see the decoration rather than treating the visit as a quick photo stop. Follow the organisers’ photography and queue instructions.
Venue: Ashirwad Paradise, near Jamna Puri, Murlipura. Kali Puja Samiti is another entry on the Murlipura route, with Ashirwad Paradise named as its venue. Include Jamna Puri in your location check to narrow down the right place. If you are travelling with family, check where your driver can drop you and pick you up. Leave the order of your stops flexible if the approach roads are busy.
Venue: Hari Om Palace, near Dakshineshwar Kali Temple, Vaishali Nagar. Jai Durga Welfare Society’s celebration is listed at Hari Om Palace. Use the nearby Dakshineshwar Kali Temple as an additional landmark when checking directions. For visitors staying on the Vaishali Nagar side, this can be the main stop for an evening. There is no need to add a long drive to Malviya Nagar just to make the visit feel complete.
Venue: SDM Park, Vijay Path, Tilak Nagar, near Moti Dungri Ganesh Temple. Agrani Cultural Association’s puja at SDM Park is included in current city reporting. This year’s programme mentions a food festival and cultural performances. Confirm the day’s timings if you want to attend a particular event. For the journey, keep SDM Park and Vijay Path in your search rather than using only the Moti Dungri landmark.
Venue: Shri Ramniwas Marriage Garden, near the North Western Railway headquarters, Malviya Nagar. The shared guide lists this celebration at Shri Ramniwas Marriage Garden. Current city reporting also places Aadi Shakti’s puja behind the railway headquarters, around the Malviya Nagar–Jagatpura junction. Community bhog is mentioned in this year’s reporting, but check the serving arrangements directly if that is part of your visit. Do not assume it is available throughout the day.
Venue: Samudayik Kendra, near Sector 11, Pratap Nagar. Bangraj Sewa Samiti gives visitors a Pratap Nagar option. The venue guide identifies the Samudayik Kendra near Sector 11. Confirm the exact community-centre pin before leaving, as the venue description alone is quite broad. This is especially useful if you are booking a pickup from another part of Jaipur.
Venue: Nehru Sewa Sadan, near Govind Nagar, Amer Road. For an Amer Road visit, look for Swami Vivekanand Cultural Trust’s celebration at Nehru Sewa Sadan. Govind Nagar is the nearby locality given in the guide. This is a city puja venue on the Amer Road side, rather than a stop inside Amer Fort. Check the full address so the similar area names do not send you further than intended.
Venue: Jan Upyogi Bhawan, near Gulab Udyan, Bani Park. This is a second Bani Park celebration to consider alongside Durgabari. The shared guide names Jan Upyogi Bhawan near Gulab Udyan as the venue. The two celebrations have different addresses. Save both separately if you want to visit them on the same evening.
These are area groups to help you choose your stops, rather than a timed driving route:
Two or three stops are a reasonable starting plan. Allow more time if you want to attend aarti, watch a performance or eat at an event. Check traffic before deciding on the next stop.
The shared community guide lists 16–21 October 2026 for these venues. Individual organisers may start activities earlier or follow a different schedule for rituals, public visits and immersion. For example, PBCS announces its overall celebration from 15–21 October. Check the specific day’s programme before going. This list does not confirm that every pandal is open for public visits at every hour during those dates. Bhog, food stalls and cultural programmes also vary by venue. Ask about serving times, passes or registration where applicable instead of assuming the same arrangements at every pandal.
