New idols have been donated by the Company in 2014.
Close by lies the Dangoria Baba Dham, said to be more
than a century old, started by a group of workers who had
been granted that piece of land by one of the British
managers of the time. The fifth generation of that group
of workers still performs a puja in the month of May each
year, for the wellbeing of the people of Attabarrie. The
former bamboo and thatch structure was converted into
a proper shed with a tin roof and iron posts by Mr Hut, a
British executive.The first puja in the garden was Durga
Puja in Attabarrie Divison, then Kali Puja was started in
Deroi Division, followed by Lakshmi Puja at Kaliapani
Division.There are small temples in each Division where
‘Bagaan Puja’ is done at the start of the plucking season.
There is a church nearby for the Christians as well.
