Three organisations, Tooting Durga Puja, Probashi Cultural Organisation and South London Sarbojonin Durga Puja are all involved in organising the P.C Chandra Ananda Utsav which is at Alexandra Palace from this Friday, until Sunday, March 21.

A number of big names are being flown in from the sub continent to take part in the event, including India’s most famous magician PC Sorcar and film legendSharmila Tagore and her film star daughter Soha Ali Khan.
