Today is Dashami..!!!

Dashami is the day when Goddess Durga accompanied with her children sets for Kailash, her husband's abode. With a heavy heart the Bengalis immerse the clay idol of Durga in the sacred Ganges bidding her goodbye and earnestly waiting to see her again the next year. The immersion ceremony is called "Bishorjon".

Bijoya Dashami - "Shubho Bijoya" :

The last day coincides with Dussehra. Idols are taken away in large processions for immersion in water. "Sindur Khela" (Vermillion game) is a major event of Dashami. First, the married women greet the Mahadevi for one last time, accompanied by rituals. They do aarati, but ready-to-chew paan-leaves in the hands of the goddess, put sweets on the lips of the idol, wipe out eyes as one does to wipe off the tears when leaving a loving place. This event is called "Durga Baran". They apply vermilion to the Goddess's head and to each other and greet each other with sweets.

Before "Ma" leaves, married women of all age groups visit the nearby pandal to take part in an emotional ritual where vermilion (sindhoor khela), is applied to the parting of each other's hair. The loha (the metal and gold bracelet given to the bride by the mother-in-law) and pala/sannbha (the red and white bangles worn by many married Bengali women) are also touched up. Sindhoor is applied by the women and the priest on the forehead of the goddess. A mother-in-law gives an iron bangle interlaced with gold or silver to a new bride as the first gift, a token of suhag, which the daughter-in-law wears all her life. During Durga puja, when idols are being taken away for immersion, sindoor is taken from in front of the idols and applied to the parting in the hair by married women. What is left on the fingers is applied to this iron and gold (silver) bangle, and is known as touching the loha. The ritual of applying sindoor can also take place at home when Bijoya Dashami is celebrated with family members.

I WISH ALL MY FRIENDS IN te A VERY VERY SUBHO BIJOYA..!!!

hi indro,

this is beautiful & captures the true image of Dashamai very well. the fading of the background probably symbolises that the pujas are over !

regards
somak

Hi Indranil,

Nice work with the desaturation of the BG. What a great impression on her face.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Indro,
Belated subho bijoya! Just back from a Gaumukh-Tapovan tour. Lovely composition with the idol of the Almighty blurred in the background, and happy expressive faces in the foreground.
Regards
Avishek
