There can’t be a dull day for Bengalis, not even when the 5-day-long
Durga Puja carnival comes to an end. The last day of the Puja is no doubt a bittersweet experience for most of the Bengalis as it marks another year-long wait for Maa Durga to descend on earth. However, the tenth day or the day of Bijoya Dashami brings some respite.
It’s the celebration of the triumph of good over evil and that’s where the name Vijaya Dashami comes from; it means victory on the tenth day. In Bengal, it's time to wish everyone 'Subho Bijaya', and seek blessings from the elders sending love for the near and dear ones.
As the whole country celebrates this auspicious occasion and social media is flooded with good wishes, Tolly stars took to their
Twitter handles to wish fans Subho Bijaya. From
Swastika Mukherjee, Dev, Jeet to
Prosenjit Chatterjee, our favourite stars appeal to everyone to retain the spirit of the festival and choose good over evil.
Meanwhile, across West Bengal, scrambling to just touch her feet one last time, teary-eyed devotees bid goodbye to beloved mother Goddess Durga as her idols are immersed in lakes and rivers on Vijaya Dashami today.
