It still continues at the same building with pomp and splendour.On the Ostumi Day all family members, along with their relatives and friends, enjoy the Maha  Bhog together at the ancestral Thakurbari, built by Ramdulal De(Deb). A music adda (mainly Classical Music) is also held at Chatu Babu's House  at  Beadon Street by Saibal & Mausam Deb.
