The ritual of celebrating Durga Puja began in Delhi at around 1910. Puja was executed by ritually blessing the Mangal Ghata which was the symbol of Devi (Goddess) Pratima puja began in 1912. A year in advance, when Delhi was legitimately declared British India’s capital, there was foremost raise in Bengali population because of shifting of government offices there.
The first joint Bijoya march was taken place in 1952. Before this, it was part of Ramlila march. That year also saw Goddess Durga’s Kashmere Gate idol, being taken on bullock cart. This tradition is still maintained.
In 2009, the Kashmere Gate Durga Puja Samiti is ready to reconstruct the magic during its anniversary celebrations from matchless craftsmanship which goes into creating Goddess idol, organize traditional pujas, up to captivation where bullock cart carry the Goddess idol. Fascinatingly, capital's oldest puja turns out to be eco-friendly also.
