Sanskriti proudly announces the 2001 year Durga Puja on Saturday, October 27th and Sunday, October 28th, 2001 at Gunn High School (Spangenberg Theatre), Palo Alto. We are sensitive to the current slowdown in Silicon Valley’s economy and put together an affordable ticket pricing for this year’s cultural program. However in keeping with high standards set in the previous three years, we are not compromising the quality of our cultural program and promise both days of Puja will be full of fun and enjoyment. We know that you have a choice and thank you for your strong support for the last three years. We are expecting the same active participation from you this year and cordially invite all of you to join us in celebrating our Puja with your family and friends . No membership / fee is required to come and enjoy the Puja.
