NPuja Association (NYPA) is a non-profit so-
cial and cultural association that has been serving

NYPA hosted their 25th annual Durga Puja Cele-
bration September 30th - October 2nd in Queens

The community had a chance to meet and hon-
or two very special guests on Saturday – NewYork

celebrates the triumph of good over evil. That’s
something we can all appreciate in these challeng-
