Sail with The Goddess I Bijaya Dashami Immersion Cruise 2025 by Trek Break & More

Bijaya Dashami marks the end of Durga Puja, symbolizing Maa Durga’s victory over Mahishasura, the triumph of good over evil, and her departure to Kailash, her divine abode. This day carries deep emotional and religious meaning for Bengalis, especially in Kolkata. In Hindu tradition, immersing (Bisharjan) the idol in water represents the cycle of creation and dissolution, returning the Goddess to nature, and the Ganges (Ganga), being sacred, is considered the ideal place for this ritual.

In the early 1800s, Durga Puja was a zamindari (landlord) affair, and immersions were elaborate but private. By the late 19th century, the rise of Barowari pujas (public community Pujas) brought crowds to the ghats. Ghats became communal spaces — not just for immersion, but for music, processions, dhaak beats, and public participation. Durga Puja in Kolkata is incomplete without its Ghats. From providing clay (Ganga Mati) for making idols to immersion in the Ganges - it`s a complete cycle.
