Using these hashtags well
Use Bengali words in Roman script
Tags like #pujowishes or #shubhomahalaya are how Bengali readers search, so they tend to find more relevant viewers than English wording.
Tag the para, not only the city
Kolkata has hundreds of pandals. The para or club tag connects your photo with others from the same pandal.
Keep sindoor khela posts respectful
Photos of rituals are a personal moment for the people in them. Ask before you tag or post a group photo.
Post through the festival, not once
Puja lasts several days, and each has its own moments. Spread your posts across them and change the set to match the day's picture.
Questions
What hashtags are popular for Durga Puja in Kolkata?
Tags like #kolkatadurgapuja, #pandalhopping and the club or para name are widely used. The specific pandal tags find the people who visited or plan to visit.
Are there hashtags for Durga Puja outside Bengal?
Yes. Delhi, Mumbai and Bhubaneswar have their own pujas, so add a city tag such as #delhidurgapuja to reach people there.
Should I use Bengali hashtags?
If your followers read Bengali in Roman script, yes. Mix a few with English tags so that both groups can find the post.
When should I start posting for Durga Puja?
Preparations and outfit posts start a week or two before Maha Saptami. Pandal photos peak during the festival days, and Bijoya wishes follow Dashami.
Should I use Bengali or English hashtags?
A mix works. Bengali words in Roman script, like pujo or pandal, reach people who search in that way, while English tags reach visitors.
Can I tag a pandal or a club?
Yes, and many committees repost. Spell the name as the committee does so that your post appears alongside theirs.
