Southern Samity –  remains a popular Puja destination for the young and the old. The residents around the park gather and offer prayers to the Goddess Kali every year in a way that makes this religious community activity a very personal experience. For the visitors at the park every year during the Pujas, Southern Samity remains to be a place where they can chill out for hours, feel at home and still experience the magic known as Southern Samity Kali Pujo.
