Girls and women dressed in colourful traditional attire performed Dandiya, a traditional dance, as part of the Durga Puja celebrations organised for the second consecutive year by the Tiruppur Maa Durga Puja Samiti at Vengamedu in Tiruppur on Monday.
Durga Puja, celebrated with great fervour in northern States, is observed every year by people from those regions who live in Tiruppur. This year, the 10-day festival is being held at a private marriage hall in Vengamedu, with migrant workers from northern States employed in Tiruppur and their families participating in the celebrations and offering prayers to Goddess Durga.
On the eighth day of the festival on Monday (October 19), special pujas were performed in the morning, followed by Sandhya Puja in the evening. Later, girls and women in colourful traditional costumes performed Dandiya, captivating the audience.
