How are these Pujas chosen?

Our editors tag a Puja as popular, recognised, established or heritage when public sources — news coverage, curated lists or the committee's own history — support it. The reason and source appear on every entry.

Pujas without a tag are not less important. Many neighbourhood Pujas simply have less written about them. Browse every listing on the Explore Pujas page.

How do I plan a pandal-hopping day in Bangalore?

The 2026 festival runs from Maha Shashthi on 16 October to Vijaya Dashami on 21 October. Group Pujas by area to cut travel time, and use the metro where a listing shows a nearby station.

Evenings on Ashtami and Navami are usually the busiest. Check each listing's last-checked date and source before you set out.
