West Bengal Temple Festivals are the cultural knots in the Bengali society that bind the culture and prejudice of the Bengalis. The main West Bengal Temple Festivals include Durga Puja, Kali Puja, Lakshmi Puja, Shivaratri and Jagaddhatri Puja.

Rathayatra is a popular West Bengal temple festival, held in district Hooghly, during the months of June or July at the temples of Mahesh near Serampore. It is a weeklong festival. People throng to have a share in pulling the long ropes attached to the chariots of Lord Jagannath, Balaram and Subhadra on the journey from the temple and back.

Jhapan is a festival celebrated in the temples of West Bengal in the district of Bankura. The festival is held in the honour of the serpent-deity Manasa on the last day of the Bengali month Sravana (mid-August). But the most spectacular is the one held at Vishnupur in the district of Bankura, with its queer shows of live snakes on open platforms. Durga Puja and Deepavali are celebrated in different temples of West Bengal. Other than the community celebrations, the traditional Durga Puja is grandly celebrated in the temples. The largest Bengali festival is Durga Puja, held in the Bengali month of Aswin or October. Images of the ten-armed goddess are worshipped in ancient houses, pandals and temples. After the four-day ceremony, the images are immersed in the Ganges River.

The festival that follows is Kali Puja or better known as Deepavali, the festival of lights. This festival brings about the worship of Maa Kali, a reflection of Maa Durga. Kalighat Temple in Kolkata is a premier site for worshipping Maa Kali. The worship of goddess Kali is marked by display of fireworks and crackers. Jagaddhatri Puja is a famous West Bengal temple festival in the district Hooghly, where Goddess Jagaddhatri is worshipped in the Bengali month of Kartick or November. At Chandannagar near Kolkata images of the goddess are gigantic, moreover, the pandals are spectacular and the illumination is unique. In fact, the illumination part is the most attractive feature in the West Bengal Temple Festivals.

The West Bengal Temple Festivals are great events of pompous celebration and sacrifices. Thousands of devotees gather in various cities of the state to enjoy the grandeur of West Bengal Temple Festivals.
