Sindoor Khela from 2 pm onwards 

It’s a ritual done on last day of Durga pujo by married ladies bidding Ma Durga goodbye from her “Maayka “ to her celestial abode 

We will talk about it more and do video bytes that day to put like a programme for media 

I will get Dibbas of Sindoor which has been purified by purohit in Durga pujo to be used in this day 

Normally it is done in presence of Ma Durga but we will play the video of it to give u a flavour of Daakh playing and Ulu Ulu sound to give you a idea about this absolutely heavenly ritual we will just use couple of light strokes of sindoor on on face and on bangles and mukh Mishti offering sweets 

Photosession again 

3 pm disperse 

Dress code
