Sindur Khela is a traditional Bengali ritual that is part of the Durga Puja festival, which celebrates the victory of the Hindu goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura. Sindur Khela is typically observed on the final day of Durga Puja, known as Vijaya Dashami or Dashami. During Sindur Khela, married Bengali women apply sindur (vermilion) to the forehead of the goddess Durga and then to each other, as well as to the idols of other married women. It is a symbol of married women's devotion to their husbands and prayers for their long lives, as well as a gesture of sisterhood and solidarity among married women. Sindur Khela is a joyous occasion marked by singing, dancing, and the exchange of sweets and greetings among women. It is one of the most colorful and significant rituals of the Durga Puja festival, particularly in West Bengal, India, and among Bengali communities around the world.
