Dear friends Navarathiri is just around the corner.
I do not have a kolu, but we observe the nine days with prayers. I normally make different kind of sundal each day.
Those who do not observe this festival, at least have prayers with your children on Saraswathi pooja day.
May the Goddess Bless All on earth.
Thanks, Kugan98
The Navarathiri i Festival 2010 is celebrated from 8th October to 16th October 2010. Navarathiri , , is a famous Hindu festival celebrated for nine nights and ten days, to worship the nine forms of Goddess Shakti
. Navrathiri festival days are divided into sets of three days to worship three different aspects of Mother Goddess.
The first three days is dedicated to Goddess Durga or Kali Maa in order to destroy all our impurities. The next three days is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi Devi, the bestower of spiritual wealth. And the final three days Goddess Saraswathi is worshipped – Goddess Saraswathi is the goddess of knowledge, music and art.
SAKTHI
