Nishtha Jaisingh
Sindur Khela (or Sindoor Khela) is a traditional Bengali ritual performed on the last day of Durga Puja, known as Vijaya Dashami.
Sindur represents marital status and the well-being of a woman's husband.
The ritual fosters a sense of camaraderie, sisterhood, and unity among married women.
Sindur Khela is part of the farewell ritual to Goddess Durga as she departs for her celestial home.
Applying sindur to each other is believed to bring blessings for a long, prosperous life for their husbands and families.
Sindur Khela celebrates women's strength and honors their role in family and society, reflecting Goddess Durga's divine feminine power.
