About the cultural programme
সাংস্কৃতিক অনুষ্ঠান সম্পর্কে
Every autumn, Shiv Mandir – Temple of Joy in Warren, Michigan marks Sharadiya Durga Puja with an evening of music, dance and recitation performed entirely by the community. Children who have been learning a song all year, families who dance together, and first-time performers all share the same stage in front of the pratima.
This form is how the temple office builds that evening’s running order. Tell us who is performing, what kind of piece it is and roughly how long it runs, and we will fit it into the programme. Entries close on October 11, 2026, and the office confirms timings with each performer closer to the day.
শারদীয় দুর্গা পূজা উপলক্ষে মন্দিরে প্রতি বছর সাংস্কৃতিক অনুষ্ঠানের আয়োজন করা হয়। গান, নাচ, যন্ত্রসঙ্গীত কিংবা আবৃত্তি — যে কোনো বয়সের যে কেউ অংশগ্রহণ করতে পারেন। অংশগ্রহণ সম্পূর্ণ বিনামূল্যে।
If you would rather give your details over the phone, or you are not sure whether a piece fits the programme, call the temple office on (313) 327-8191.
Common questions
- Who can take part in the cultural programme?
- Anyone in the community, at any age. Children and adults perform on the same evening, and you do not need to be a temple member or to have performed before. Families often enter several children on separate forms.
- Can we perform as a group?
- Yes. Choose Group on the form and list everyone performing with you, one name per line. One person fills the form in on behalf of the group, and the temple office will contact that person about the running order.
- What kind of performances are accepted?
- Song, dance, instrumental music, and story or rhyme recitation. Bengali and other Indian language pieces are very welcome, and so is anything the family has prepared together.
- What do I need to bring on the day?
- Your music file. Please hand it to the audio technician when you arrive rather than on stage — it saves a long pause between performances. Bring any props or instruments you need; the temple provides the sound system.
- What happens after I submit the form?
- You receive a confirmation email straight away with a reference number and a copy of what you entered. The temple office builds the running order after the deadline and contacts you about timings closer to the day.
