Kali Puja 2026 in Siliguri: Date and Shopping Checklist

In Siliguri and across Bengal, the night of Diwali is also the night of Kali Puja. In 2026, both fall on Sunday, 8 November. Many homes and clubs in the city prepare for both, so it helps to shop early.

A simple Kali Puja and Diwali checklist

For the puja

• Puja thali with kumkum, haldi, rice and incense
• Clay diyas, oil or ghee, and cotton wicks
• Marigold garlands
• Sweets for the offering, such as sandesh or laddu

For the home

• A marigold toran for the door
• Rangoli colours for the doorstep
• Candles or diyas for the balcony

For the celebration

• Sparklers for everyone
• Flower pots and chakkars
• One sky shot cake if you have an open terrace
• A bucket of water and a bucket of sand

When should you order?

We deliver the same day or the next day within Siliguri, but the last days before the festival are the busiest. Order by Friday, 6 November if you can, and keep your sweets for the day itself in the fridge.
