With Durga puja inching closer to fruition, last minute festivities are in full swing and everybody is flocking to pandals to get Maa's blessings.

Our Bong celebrities are no different. Even they came out in full force to celebrate what is their biggest festival and the family that spearheaded one of the most popular pujo pandals in Mumbai were the Mukerjis.

Every Mukerji came out in full force and enjoyed the festivities together, save Rani Mukerji who was nowhere to be seen this time. But her mum made up for her absence.

Durga pujo begins with gusto

Each year Kajol's paternal family organises the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Samiti in Juhu. At this posh suburb, the festivities are on a grand scale and one can often spot a celebrity or two participating in it.

While each year Kajol comes with her family, it seems this year was extra special because the Samiti was celebrating the 70th anniversary of its Durga Pujo celebrations.

Naturally, the Mukerjis came out in full force to organise and participate in the festivities.

Kajol takes part in the festivities

While Kajol was not accompanied by her kids or hubby Ajay Devgn, she did come with her mum Tanuja Chandra, sister Tanisha as well as cousin Sharbani Mukerji.

This day also saw many other celebrities including Rani Mukerji's mum as well as her brother Raja, who came to seek Maa's blessings as well.

But Rani herself was inconspicuous by her absence.

Kajol distributes bhog

One of the popular traditions of Durga Pujo is serving bhog to devotees at the pandal. And like each year, this year also Kajol participated in it with full gusto.

She was seen happily distributing bhog including rasogulla to all those present.
