Best Time to Visit

Durga Puja is celebrated during Sharadiya Navratri, typically from Panchami to Vijayadashami (5–6 days). Evening hours are usually the liveliest, with cultural programmes and community gatherings

Sindur Khela (सिंदूर खेला) दुर्गा पूजा के सबसे भावुक और रंगीन अनुष्ठानों में से एक है। यह विजया दशमी (दशहरे) के दिन, माँ दुर्गा के विसर्जन से पहले किया जाता है।

इस परंपरा में महिलाएँ पहले माँ दुर्गा को सिंदूर अर्पित करती हैं और फिर एक-दूसरे को सिंदूर लगाती हैं। इसके साथ मिठाइयाँ बाँटी जाती हैं और सुख, समृद्धि तथा परिवार के कल्याण की कामना की जाती है।

परंपरागत रूप से यह रस्म विवाहित महिलाओं से जुड़ी रही है, लेकिन कई स्थानों पर आज यह अधिक समावेशी रूप ले चुकी है और इसे महिला एकता, सांस्कृतिक पहचान और उत्सव के रूप में भी देखा जाता है।

Ahmedabad Kali Bari is located near Rajpath Club Road / SG Highway area, Ahmedabad.
