Adani Group to host inaugural Durga Puja Preview in Kolkata
Adani Group will hold the first Durga Puja Adani Preview 2026 in Kolkata from 10 to 12 October, with eight Pujas selected for the three-night public preview. The preview runs from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. each night and is free with a registered pass.
A four-member jury comprising artist Paresh Maity, industrialist Harshavardhan Neotia, architect Abin Chaudhuri and conservationist Mudar Patherya independently chose the Pujas. Adani said it had no role in the selection. Over 70 artists and more than 30,000 visitors have registered for the event, which aims to showcase artistry and craft ahead of the main Puja days.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage is uniform straight reporting: theshillongtimes.com reproduces the Adani Group statement with the jury’s independence claim and the visitor numbers, while the Times of India carries an unrelated story about a Patna pandal. On the Bengal story, the single source offers no conflicting framing. The balanced reading follows the statement itself: the jury was arm’s-length, but the corporate branding is explicit. The concrete next step is the preview on 10 October.
