JuteVilla
The culture milieu in Barasat reflects the usual culturel characteristics of similar small towns in Bengal.The educated middle-class community continues to perpetuate the Bengali cultural manifestations like drama, recitation, classical music, songs and dances, while young Turks take a rather revolutionary stand and let out their feeling in the form of minor little magazines and socially relevant functions like health check up camps etc.

In Barasat some religious ashrams like the ashrams of Pranabananda, Prabhu Jagadbandhu, Shibananda Dham, Shankar Moth O Mission,  Sree Yogashram, Hazarat Ekdil Shah Darga etc. are located.

The cultural diversity has increased over the years with the infiltration of more people from Bangladesh. An annual fair held in honor of a Muslim saint, Hazrat Ekdil Shah is attended by both Muslims and Hindus, since hundreds of years. Kalipuja is a very important event in Barasat. All the communities join this occasion together. Kalipuja is organized by different clubs of Barasat, some of them are KNC Regiment, Satadal Sangha, Regiment, Barasat Chapadali Truck Association, Gold Star Club RamkrishnaPally, Taki Road,etc.
