Sindoor Khela

The 7th day marks the commencement of ā€œMahasaptamiā€. On this day, just before dawn, a banana tree is immersed in the water as a part of the ritual. After the ceremonial bath, the tree or ā€œKola Bouā€ (as called in Bengali) is draped in a saree, usually a red-bordered one, and placed on the right-side of Ganesha, thereby implying that ā€œKola Bouā€ is actually the bride of Ganesha. However, several cultural revisionists and historians have different views on this as some believe that ā€œKola Bouā€ is another representation of Durga. Hence, they refute the theory that ā€œKola Bouā€ is the bride of Ganesha.

jejuri dasara

The idol of Shri Khandoba enshrined inside the temple is simply beautiful. There are three weapons housed in Jejuri Temple, a sword, a damaru and a paral. They are very exquisite and also have historical importance attached to them. A Sword Competition is held every year at the temple, on the occasion of Dusshera. The one who lifts the sword of the temple high up, for the maximum time, is declared the winner.
