Happy Dassera everyone!

The traditional festival sweet for Dassera is Shrikhand puri in Maharashtra! It is a holiday. The houses are adorned with marigold flowers, Gods and Goddesses worshipped and the celebration of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance begins! Dassera also signifies that Diwali is round the corner.
