Baghbazar Sarbojonin, one of north Kolkata’s most celebrated Durga Pujas, hosted their traditional Sindoor Khela on Thursday afternoon.
The ritual, which marks the final day of the five-day festival, saw women in white saris with red borders exchanging vermillion before bidding farewell to the Goddess.
Baghbazar Sarbojonin, with a history of more than a century, draws thousands each year for its immersion-day celebrations. \
The morning began with pushpanjali and dhunuchi naach, where devotees swayed to the beats of the dhaak, holding incense-filled earthen pots in rhythmic patterns.
For many, Sindoor Khela is both a farewell and a celebration of womanhood.
