Bijoya Dashami marks the day when one bids adieu to Goddess Durga at the end of a five-day stay on Earth. Legend has it that Dashami is the day when she sets out for Kailash, her husband’s abode, accompanied by her children. With a heavy heart, Bengali Hindus immerse the clay idol of the goddess. But the most interesting part of the six-day function is enacted just before the immersion, known as Debi Boron and Sindur Khela rituals. During Debi Boron, everyone walks in a circle around the idol of Durga and her children.
