The festival of Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashmi, came to an emotional conclusion with much revelry across Meghalaya on Tuesday with the immersion of idols of Goddess Durga at several rivers and water spots.
The term Dussehra is very common in North Indian states and Karnataka, while Vijayadashami is popular in West Bengal. Bengalis celebrate this festival by performing Durga Visarjan, as devotees take idols of Maa Durga for immersion in holy water bodies.
