What Cuttack organisers actually run — october–November, when Durga Puja and Bali Jatra fall close together.
October–November, when Durga Puja and Bali Jatra fall close together.
Bali Jatra is the fixture — 24 November to 1 December in 2026 on the Mahanadi bank, marking the ancient maritime trade to Bali, and among the largest open-air fairs in eastern India; the district administration decides each year whether it runs on the Upper or Lower Field. Durga Puja in October is the other, and Cuttack’s is distinct from Kolkata’s: the chandi medha, silver and gold filigree backdrops built by individual pujas over months. Both are free-entry and crowd-managed rather than ticketed.
Vihaya Events is not affiliated with these events — they are listed to show the kind of programming Cuttack supports.
