Step by step festivals were on the way😊 So herez comes the next 'NAVARATRI'. The first day of NAVARATRI is called the 'NAVARATNA PADAVO' . Padavo starts with the filling of 'SHERYAPATRA' (we call it as Bhaan) filled with rice. Previous day this should be emptied and cleaned and nicely dried tharoughly. Then early mor this Bhaan is decorated with mango leaves, flowers, applied chandan, kumkum and is again filled with fresh raw rice by the senior suvasini and is followed by others and is placed in the puja room covered with a lid, upon which a coconut with shendo with betal leaves with betal nut and one banana along with a flower is placed over it. This is done usually as per the time mentioned on the Panchanga. Similarly the rest of the diyas along with sthana devo specially is also applied with gandha and kumkum with a flower is lighted ritually. Sharing a click below..
Then another important to keep infront of puja room is the Nine varieties of cereals / pulses thats to be are filled in small cups.
The first day of Navaratri was on thursday. My Shirdi sai baba's day. Ghee diya is lighted infront of sai baba with light Prasaad. I follow this every Thursday😊
The entire look of my Mandir on first day :)
This year we planned to order 'Ashtalakshmi' and Ma Sharada. It was a great pleasure welcoming all the lakshmi devi's to my home. Kept them near my Mandir and worshipped them for the next 10 days.
The below click is one of the Alankar pic, which I decored with full of 'Roses' 🌹on 4th day of Navaratri'
Next comes on the day of MahaNavami, the goddess Saraswati or Sharada is garlanded with pretty flowers and all books, instruments, tools were kept infront of mandir for pooja. The special joy for me on this day was the decore of my Veena inform of Ma Saraswathi. (worn a new saree with mala, bangles and flowers on the top) After seeing the whole look of my VEENA, the feeling was somthing different which can't be described 😊 Just have a look :)
So this was my entire Divine look of my Puja room on MAHANAVAMI day.
The next day morning was 'VIJAYADASHAMI', After the maha aarthi, the books, instruments which is kept for puja is taken and is compulsory to read the books, sing bhajan and play the instruments. All were supposed to write 'Hari sree Ganapathaye namah' in their books. On this auspicious day only Vidhyarambam is conducted for children under 3 years.
After every day of the puja and aarathi of the deity, herez the varieties of 'Neivedyam' prepared.
Now finally sharing a pic🙈 cum small attempt by me playing Veena on Vijayadashmi day😇
Thats it 😁 Thus the days of Navaratri ended up so well with lots of blessings and joy😊😊😊
