If you cant read that stuff how do you know that it is in 'shudh'?
do you know the meaning of 'shudh'?
'shudh' means 'Pure'

its different thing that it is really shudh
------------------


In roman(english) script it is "Dussera ke paawan awsar par prabhu ashirwad sung aapko hardik shubh kaamnaye"

Its english meaning is " With blessings of GOD, heartly good wishes to you on the good occasion of Dussera "

------
wishing to all the same..

That Durga, primary deity of Hindu Bengalis and to whom Vande Mataram was originally written. ;-)

It's kind of 5 days carnival here in Calcutta, the whole city celebrates even sometime irrespective of religion.

what's 'Dandiyaan' functions? i've been hearing it for a while now

Danda = large stick (Sota in Punjabi), Dandi = Small stick approx 18" (Soti in Punjabi).

Each dancer holds two, although some times when they are short on Dandiya they will use just one in right hand. Generally, in a four beat rhythm, opposite sides hit the sticks at the same time, creating a nice sound. Its always performed in Durga's honour, this dance form is actually the staging of a mock-fight between the Goddess and Mahishasura, the mighty demon-king, and is nicknamed "The Sword Dance".

Navaratri (Naurate in Punjabi) means Nava = Nine (Nau in Punjabi), Ratri = Night (Raat). During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakti/Devi are worshiped.

Asim is right, Dasahara, meaning ‘ten days’, becomes dussehra in popular parlance. The effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakarna, and Meghanada are burnt to celebrate the victory of good (Rama) over evil forces on the 'Vijaya Dashami' day.

Happy Dussera to all
