Shubho Vijaya

[radhuni]

Our biggest festival 'Durga Puja' is ending today.

Devi Durga is considered as the good power or energy, who killed the evil 'Mahishasura'.

So 'Durga puja' is the festival of the victory of good over evil.

Today we greet everyone with saying 'Shubho Vijaya'.

So 'Shubho Vijaya' to all.
