Maiden Routes

Shubho Bijoya and Happy Dussehra!

Sindur Khela (Bengali: সিঁদুর খেলা), literally meaning 'Vermillion Game', is a Bengali Hindu tradition where married women smear each other with sindur (Vermillion) on Vijayadashami, the last day of the Durga Puja.
Every year, Durga Puja makes the city of joy ( Kolkata ) come alive with colors, light, food, happiness, and buzzing energy enough to light up an entire continent. Its like a carnival, high on happiness !
Today marks the last day of the festivities. Aching hearts secretly start the countdown while chanting "Asche bochor abar hobe" meaning "It will happen again next year"!
