| The Puja begins....

'Touch of life' to the clay idol of the Goddess.
The purohith (priest) arrived later than expected and caused a bit of
anxiety.

The puja in progress

Anjali - offerings in flowers (look
at the toddler in yellow sari!)

More of the same - different viewing angle

Hathe Khori - initiation to the world of letters.

Yagna - prayers in front of the sacred fire

Congregation in the evening - we had songs, recitations, dancing and even
a short video show of past events
Reciting Rabindranath Tagore's Abhishaar.
