Hyderabad: Residents of Aparna Cyberscape recently held their first-ever celebration of Durga Puja, Bathukamma, and Navratri. This event was an important moment in the community’s cultural calendar. It brought together different traditions and festivals, helping to promote unity and inclusivity among the residents.
During the celebrations, residents participated in prayers, chanting, and offerings. They expressed their devotion and sought blessings for strength and prosperity.
A key part of the event was the Dhunuchi dance, and a special tradition called Sindoor Khela stood out. In Sindoor Khela, married women applied sindoor (vermilion) on each other, symbolizing their love and respect for the goddess.
The celebration concluded with the visarjan (immersion) of Devi Durga at Nallagandla Lake. This marked the end of a week-long festival, where devotees said goodbye to the goddess until the next year.
