Mata puja also known as gram devi puja .In Kharagpur every locality celebrate this festive with great enthuse. At starting this was concentrate only in south Indian locality but now this was organized in every area. The reason behind this was south Indian people now lived in every part of town.
Now the previous glory of mata puja lost due to some restriction from local police .From last two years organizer not able to arrange any dance program in this festival because police are not ready to give protection. Local police administration allowed dance program on their own risk. Malancha area is only place where dance program arranged by local organizer during mata puja.
