Festival:Happy Dasera 2010

Hi Good day ppl !
Happy Dasera to all of you ! I had a grand time :)
In the morning after pooja & great breakfast we went visiting my papa's workplace: RCF factory. On Dasera, employee families are allowed entry if you have authorized passes. We visited the various plants which make the chemicals & fertilizers. It was great to know how everything works on the machine floor.
In the evening got to visit the Tulja bhavani replica temple we have near Diamond Garden.


They say the Tulja Bhavani actually resided in this temple at some point. There is a family which takes care of this & a chawl behind it maintains the temple.

This is Ghat. To mark the beginning of the harvest season. The harvest season begins at this time and so the Mother Goddess is invoked to start the new harvest season and reactivate the vigor and fertility of the soil. This is done through religious performances and rituals which are thought to invoke cosmic forces that rejuvenate the soil.

I couldnt visit it during Navratri. But today they had a special hom(zynya) & 9days ghat.

The pooja of instruments, equipments, books is done in the morning.
The exchange of Aapti leaves with relatives, neighbors marked the completion of the day for us.

It was great to spend a 3day weekend with family & resting.

Now back to work & a productive week ahead :)

Bye. Tc.
