Today is the last day of Durga Puja and its called Bijoya Dhasami as it signifies success of good over evil. On this day Lord Ram was successful in wining the war against Ravan and according to religious scriptures too Devi Durga killed all the asuras ( demons) and returns victorious to Khailash where her husband Lord Shiva stays. Since it's Tuesday today there won't be any immersion of idols but the effigy of Ravana was burnt which signifies the destruction of all evils.
Wishing all my friends a prosperous life ahead with the blessings of Devi Durga.

@RebeccasFarm Most people living abroad do like and enjoy Indian festivals. Many foreigners do come to India to watch the durga puja, especially Kolkata.
