Guptipara is the home of Bengal's first "Barowari" () Durga Puja which introduced Sri Bindhabasini Jagaddhatri Puja (Worshipping Devi Durga introduced by Lord Rama), with a club named Bindhyabasini. It is now known as Bindhyabasini Mata. In the 1760s, a group of men were stopped from taking part in the household Durga Puja of the ruling Sen family. In retaliation, twelve of these men formed a committee and organised a modern club culture called "Barowari Puja." (In Sanskrit"Bar" means Public or community and in Farsi "wari" means By or for) Opinions vary about the year of commencement of the Barowari puja. Some believe it to be 1760 while others claim it to be 1790.
