Our Legacy & Journey

About Ajanta Samiti

Established in 2004 • Jahangir Puri, Delhi

Ajanta Samiti was established in 2004 with a vision of bringing the community together through the celebration of Durga Puja, devotion, culture, and togetherness.

Shri Paritosh Halder is the Founder of Ajanta Samiti, Shri Dilip Kumar is the Co-Founder, and Shri Ram Halder is the Co-Founder who played a vital role in establishing this Samiti. Since its establishment, the Samiti has continued to grow with the active participation, dedication, and support of members of our community.

Over the years, our Durga Puja has become more than a religious celebration—it has become a symbol of unity, tradition, devotion, cultural heritage, and community bonding. Generations of families have come together to celebrate Maa Durga and preserve the spirit of our shared traditions.

We are also deeply grateful for the continued support and contribution of Former Cabinet Minister, Shri Mangat Ram Singhal, who has been associated with and supported our Durga Puja celebrations every year. We are equally honoured that his son, Shri Vinay Singhal (Chairman), has now joined us and continues this valuable association.
