Bengal bids adieu to Goddess Durga

The five-day-long Durga Puja carnival in West Bengal came to a close on Tuesday with the immersion of idols on ‘Vijayadashami‘ at Babughat in the river Hooghly and other rivers across the state. The immersion was preceded by 'Sindur Khela' (smearing vermilion on each other's faces) by the women. (Photos by Avishek Mitra / IBNS)
