The biggest Bengali festival of the year, Durga Puja is coming to an end. People are marking Vijaya Dashami today (on October 5, 2022). On this day, people immerse the idol of Goddess Durga (visarjan) and send the daughter back to her home. But that doesn’t put an end to the festive indulgence. During Durga Puja, people go on a bingeing spree; and same is the scenario post visarjan. Friends and family gather together, greet each other and observe ‘Bijoya’. Food plays an equally important role here as well. They exchange sweets and go for festive feasts. If you are planning to organise a ‘Bijoya’ party at home, then here we have the perfect recipe for you to make.
