Sindoor Khela is a Bengali traditional ceremony which is followed every year on the day of Vijayadashami. Every year on the last day of Durga Puja, married women put on sindoor (vermilion) on Maa Durga's forehead and feet and thereafter they apply it on the other married women present around them.

Since sindoor is a sign of a married woman, this ritual means to wish each and everyone a good fortune and a happy married life.
