Bengali is a rich Indian language, recognized as the sweetest language by UNESCO. It is mainly spoken by the people from the eastern state of India called West Bengal and the country of Bangladesh. Bonghoven is a Bengali association in South Holland (the Eindhoven region) with members spreading over various parts of this region. It started back in 2015 with celebration of Swaraswati Pujo. Later, the scale and coverage of the events were expanded in 2017 with Durga Pujo and Naba Barsha (Bengali new year). Every year, we celebrate three events — Swaraswati Pujo, Naba Barsha and Durga Pujo. These events are attended by people from a wider radius, which includes the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. Of course, people from various parts of India, attend, support, and participate in various cultural activities. The signature of our events is the homely and welcoming atmosphere which has been appreciated by our beloved guests over all these years. We are looking forward to welcome you in our next event.
