India is the land of customs and we celebrate the different festivals in different ways. Dussehra denotes the last day of Navratri. Bengali women also engage in Sindoor Khela during the last day of the festival. The ritual, which is believed to be as old as the ritual of Durga Puja itself, is played by married women. They smear the faces of each other with vermillion and welcome Durga Maa for next year and a way to pay to bid farewell to Durga Maa.
The bollywood Bengali divas Kajol, Ram, Rani Mukherji, and Tanisha Mukerji celebrated the occasion and cheered themselves into a festive mood as they got busy celebrating the Durga Puja festival. On Wednesday (October 5), the Mukerji sisters along with cousins Sharbani Mukerji and Akanksha Malhotra played sindoor (vermilion) khela.
