A divine celebration at the Sharma Residence

By Haridya Sharma

Hello everyone, my name is Haridya Sharma. The family function I attended was Mata ki Chownki at our home. Every religious function holds great importance in our society as it contributes to bringing prosperity while creating peaceful surroundings and purifying the mind as well as soul.

A day before the function, all the decorations began. A beautiful darbar was set up featuring swaroops/murtis of Durga Mata, Ram Darbar, Shiv Parivar, and Laddu Gopal Ji. On the day of the chowki, we all dressed up beautifully.

The event commenced with a pooja and various offerings to God. Initially, everyone recited “Sundar Kaand Paath” followed by bhajans until midnight. We all danced to the bhajans, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Subsequently, we performed Aarti and offered prashad, which included fruits, sweets, dry fruits, and Navratri special food. After seeking blessings from God, we relished the prashad and enjoyed a delicious meal. I truly cherished the function with my family.
