MUMBAI: When the dhol beats meet the Delhi streets, you know Pujo has arrived. 93.5 Red FM, India’s largest private radio and entertainment network, is bringing its much-loved Dugga Dugga – Shakti Roopena Sansthita festival to the capital for the very first time. After three packed-out editions in Kolkata, the fourth chapter of this cultural extravaganza unfolds on 20 September 2025 at Talkatora Stadium.
More than just a gig, Dugga Dugga is a full-bodied Pujo experience where literature, theatre, craft, food, fashion and faith come together in one grand celebration of Shakti. Think soulful ragas, electrifying guitars, graceful dance, and the irresistible aroma of Bengali delicacies all under one roof.
The star-studded line-up reflects Bengal’s creative soul: Dona Ganguly and her troupe will bring classical dance elegance, Iman Chakraborty lends her stirring voice, Anupam Roy Band injects contemporary edge, and Anjan Dutta with The Electric Band ensures an electric finale. The mix promises everything from folk traditions to modern rhythms, making Pujo feel both timeless and fresh.
“Dugga Dugga isn’t just a festival, it’s a living expression of unity, joy and resilience,” said Red FM and Magic FM Director & COO Nisha Narayanan. “With Delhi as our new canvas, we are weaving tradition with modernity where classical ragas meet spoken word and Pujo’s soul is reimagined for everyone.”
R FM’s hyper-local spirit shines through here too. Beyond the music, festivalgoers can expect poetry, crafts, artisanal creations and authentic Bengali cuisine. It’s designed as a multi-sensory journey that mirrors the devotion, artistry and community of Durga Puja, but with a Delhi twist.
With a footprint of 69 stations and over 663 award-winning campaigns to its name, Red FM is no stranger to cultural evangelism. But this edition of Dugga Dugga marks a milestone bridging Kolkata’s Pujo legacy with Delhi’s cultural pulse. For one night, the Talkatora Stadium won’t just echo with sound, it will resonate with the spirit of Shakti.
