Kesar Pesta Ball

It’s time for Maa Durga to back home with her children. This time we all pray to Maa and ask for our good health and wealth. Every year this is our most heart breaking time, we all know Maa will back next year again but still we can’t stop our tears. The day call “Dashami”, means 10th day or end day of Durga Puja Festival.
 
At the end of the festival we prepare some sweet dish for Misti Mukh  (a piece of sweet in mouth), because this time we touch our elders feet for blessings and they can’t return us like that so they give us a plate of different sweets. This is a ritual and part of our” Durga Puja Festival” too. In Punjabi and Gujrati people also celebrate this time as” Navaratri” and the end of this festival called “Dashera” or “Dashami” for us. Sitting far away from home but can’t forget the day, so tried to prepare a sweet dish for my family and friends. Subha Bijoya Dasami and Happy Dasera to all of you.
