Happy Dussehra (Vijayadashami) 2019 Wishes Images, Messages, Photos, and Status: Vijayadashami or simply Dashami, officially marks the end of the Durga Puja festivities. On this day, people take part in a grand send-off for the Goddess, in a way that is part celebratory, part sombre.

For Bengalis, the day begins with the traditional Maa Boron — that is, prepping the Goddess for her journey back to Mount Kailash. The highlight is the sindoor khela, for which married women get together and smear some vermillion on Goddess Durga, and on each other. Nowadays, this ritual has become more inclusive. Men, unmarried women and even widows get to participate.
