Dashami being the last day of the festival, Goddess Durga is sent away to Kailash, the abode of Shiva. This act of giving away the Goddess is Bisharjan. Our sastras depart the Goddess in number of ways. Worshipping Mother Nature, a primitive form of reverence is reflected in our Puja rituals. In the Bodhon rituals Mahashakti is summoned to the bel (wood apple) tree.

The ‘ghot’, an earthen or brass pot is placed in the middle of the rectangular plot. The loose end of the red thread is then tied around the idol of the goddess and then is wrapped around the ‘ghot’. Before idol worship became prevalent ‘ghot puja’ was performed. It was the real form of reverence. Later to assimilate the idol in the puja, the red thread is also wrapped around the idol. 

After completion of the Dashami puja, the purohit first asks the goddess to forgive him for any faults he might have committed while performing the rituals. Later he invites her once again to visit us. The pandit takes a flower from the

ghot and while chanting vedic mantras he throws it behind his back, shakes the ghot and tears off the thread. This concludes the bisarjan.
