Dusserah Fest

Yesterday marked the end of a 10 day and 9 nights festival known as 'Dusserah' and 'Nava raathri' in Hindu households all over the world. As with many Fests, there had been colourful public celebrations too, for example the famous Raam Leela Fest in Delhi and Dusserah Festival in Mysuru, Karnataka.

During this period, Shree Paarvathi, Shree Mahaalakshmi and Shree Saraswathi are worshipped. During the last three days Shree Vedavyaasa, Shree Raam, Shree Krishna, Parashurama, Lord Hayagreeva and other avatars of Shree Mahaavishnu, as well as Shree Mahaalakshmi, Shree Durgaa and saints, residing in the heart of Shree Saraswathi are worshipped as 'Saraswathi Pooja'. You can read my earlier posts to know more about this annually occurring auspicious Festival.
