Kolkata Durga Puja 2026 by metro: pandals near every station

The metro is the quickest way to go pandal hopping in Kolkata: most neighbourhood lanes close to cars on puja evenings. 98 of the 125 pandals in this guide are within a 30-minute walk of a metro or suburban station, 52 of them closest to the Blue Line. Below, every pandal is listed under its nearest station, with the walk in festival crowds. The puja runs from Panchami, 16 October 2026 (Friday), to Dashami, 21 October 2026 (Wednesday).

Metro timings for Durga Puja 2026

Metro Railway has announced its puja timings. From Saturday 17 to Tuesday 20 October, the Blue Line (Dakshineswar to Shahid Khudiram) runs from 1 pm until about 4 am the next morning, and the Green Line from 1:30 pm until about 4 am. On 15 and 16 October the Blue Line runs from 6 am to 11 pm, and on Dashami (21 October) it runs fewer trains. The Orange Line is suspended from Saptami to Dashami. Last trains vary by station, so check the notice at your station, and book tickets on the Aamar Kolkata Metro app to skip the queues. (source)

• Extra trains on the two weekends before the puja (announced 30 September): Metro Railway is running extra trains on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October (as on 3 and 4 October) on the Blue, Green and Yellow lines for the pre-puja shopping rush. The first and last trains run at the usual times. Source
