About APS

APS is committed to celebrating and showcasing our homegrown talent, giving every internal artist a platform to share their passion and strengthen our cultural roots. At the same time, we continue to bring authentic Bengali flavours to our celebrations by introducing traditional cooks from West Bengal.

APS Durga Puja festivities and creative themes have received wide media spotlight (such as in The Times of India / Pune Mirror) and appreciation through cultural platforms like the Narayani Namastute Global Durga Puja Excellence Awards network which highlights exceptional community pujas outside West Bengal.

In 2022–23, APS introduced the annual APS Prime Membership, offering members a single annual fee with a wide range of exclusive benefits and privileges.

​During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, APS remained committed to spreading happiness through culture, love, and devotion. By embracing a digital transformation, we successfully continued our social and cultural activities—an achievement that became one of the key milestones in our journey.
