SUBHO BIJOYA greetings for all our readers, friends and family. Hope you all had a wonderful Durga Puja/Navratri celebration. With this starts another year of waiting for Ma Durga to arrive on this mortal earth. But fear not, we have several grand festivals lined up for the next few months. We express our gratitude for the overwhelming response to our blogposts on Durga Puja lookbook. We have also been recieving requests on our Facebook and Instagram pages to share how we actually dressed up for Durga Puja. As both the sisters living in US, the celebrations were restricted to mainly weekends. So we thought of publishing some of our looks from the weekend in this post. Hope you enjoy them.
