About the digital magazine
ডিজিটাল পত্রিকা সম্পর্কে
Sharad Utshav is the Durga Puja magazine of Shiv Mandir – Temple of Joy in Warren, Michigan, filled every autumn with the writing, art and memories of the community. Since 2026 it has been published digitally, which means it can hold recordings, dance and short films alongside poems, stories, paintings and photographs.
This form is how the editorial team gathers that work. Describe each piece, then upload the files, paste the text, or share a link. Submissions for 2026 close on October 9, 2026, a week before the puja. The team confirms by email what has arrived.
শারদ উৎসব পত্রিকার জন্য আপনার কবিতা, গল্প, প্রবন্ধ, আঁকা ছবি, আলোকচিত্র, গান কিংবা ভিডিও পাঠান। যে কোনো বয়সের যে কেউ অংশ নিতে পারেন।
Past issues are in the magazine archive. For anything else, call the temple office on (313) 327-8191.
Common questions
- Who can send something for the magazine?
- Anyone in the community, at any age. You do not need to be a temple member, and first-time writers and young artists are especially welcome. A parent or guardian can send work on behalf of a child.
- What kinds of work are accepted?
- Articles and essays, poems, short stories, memoirs and travel writing, children's writing, drawings and paintings, photographs, crafts, recipes, songs, recitations, dance and short films, puzzles, greetings and sponsor adverts.
- How large can my files be?
- Photos and documents up to 25 MB each, audio up to 50 MB and video up to 100 MB, with up to 20 files and 300 MB in one submission. For a longer video, share a YouTube or Google Drive link instead.
- When is the deadline?
- One week before Durga Puja begins, so the editors have time to put the issue together. The exact date for this year is shown at the top of the form.
- Will everything I send be published?
- The editorial team reads every submission, but not every piece can be included, and some may be edited for length or layout. You will receive an email confirming what arrived.
- Are my files safe?
- Every file is checked when it arrives and stored on the temple's own server. Only the editorial team can open them — they are never public until published in the magazine.
