The milky white beauty of the ''kaash phool'', Creating a perfect ambiance of the festival to it's full. The Goddess finally arrives, To shower her blessings on our lives. She is represented in the form of killing a devil, And it's our belief that she drives away all the evils. From Sasthi followed by Saptami, Ashtami and Nabami, The idol of the Goddess is finally immersed in Ganga on Dashami. The last day is followed by sharing sweets, And the people awaits another long year for her to arrive.
