Durga Visarjan 2128

The end of Durga Puja festival is marked by the Durga Visarjan. Just with the arrival of the day of Vijayadashmi the immersion (Visarjan) of the idol of Goddess Durga is done early in the morning. From many years, immersion (visarjan) is done early in the morning but if Shravan Nakshatra and Dashmi Tithi rest in the Apaharan Kaal, then this time is the most auspicious one for immersion (Visarjan). Most of the devotees break their fast only after the immersion (visarjan).

On this occasion, all the married women put vermilion to each other and wish each other. Sindoor Utsav is also called as Sindoor play.
