Laal Paar-Durga Puja Edit


White and red sarees hold a special significance during Durga Puja, particularly during the ritual of Sindoor Khela. On the final day, known as Vijaya Dashami, married women don white sarees with red borders, symbolizing purity and fertility. They participate in Sindoor Khela, where they playfully smear each other with sindoor (vermilion powder) as a gesture of goodwill, marital bliss, and the triumph of good over evil. The vibrant red of the sindoor against the pristine white of the sarees creates a visually striking and culturally rich spectacle, embodying the joyous spirit and deep-rooted traditions of Durga Puja.
