Vijayadashami is major festival in eastern and northeastern states of India, marking the end of Durga Puja. It is not a day of joy and merriment for Maa Durga’s devotees but is marked with a subtle sorrow. Because it is time for the Hindu Goddess to return to Kailash. Devotees pay a teary farewell to Maa Durga with sweets, sindoor and betel leaf as part of offerings. Among the celebrations, Sindur Khela is the main highlight of Vijaya Dashami where married women donning in traditional attire, smear vermillion on each other after making offerings to Goddess Durga.
