Photographer’s Note
Shot it at the last day of bengali's favorite festival,"Durga Puja".Sindur khela(vermilion play) is a major event of Dashami. Married women apply vermilion to each other and greet each other with sweets. It is in the evening when the image of Goddess Durga is immersed in the Ganges, Bengalis greet each other with Bijoya Greetings and men follow the customary 'Kola-Kuli' (embracing each other). Durga Puja is a festival that the Bengalis celebrate without religious inhibitions. It is more of a socio-cultural celebration that tends to renew kinship with friends and relatives.

Subho Bijoya Subir,
marvellous presentation of the rituals of this very day with a master efficiency. Great depth. You have captured it with nice point of view also. Colours are natural. Great to see the faded Durga pratima in background. A brilliant compo. Thanks for sharing.
Agami subho hok.
Subhendu
