Emptiness has gripped the state and mind of the people as mother goddess Durga has bid an adieu from the land to Kailash for another year. The immersion of idols at Dashamighat has put an end to the four day long carnival of durga puja.
The auspicious celebration of Durga puja for four days has given the state an ample moment of happiness, joy, enthusiasm, zeal, fun and unity of people cutting all the barriers of castes and communism. The celebration is all about meeting friends and having a whale of a time. It’s not always about the highly decorated heavy budget pandals but a moment of true happiness and heart full of enjoyment.
Devotees thronged marquees and community pujas across state to bid adieu to goddess Durga, the last day of the puja, and played the vermillion game.
With anticipation of homecoming of the deity next year, people participated in the last rounds of prayers and rituals.
Adhering to tradition, some household and community pujas proceeded to the banks of the river Howrah around for the immersion.
With tears in their eyes, organisers, followed through the immersion ritual with shouts of "Asche bochor abar hobe" (See you next year).
