Rajasthan kicks off Navratri celebrations with grand rituals
JAipur, 22 Sep The number one daytime of Navratri was pronounced by grand celebrations and spiritual fervour crossways Rajasthan on Monday. Devotees thronged temples across the state to celebrate the arrival of the nine-day festival dedicated to Goddess Durga. From Banswara to Jaipur, Karauli, and Jodhpur, devotees gathered at temples to engage in prayers and rituals. A 5-kilometre-long chunari was offered to Goddess Tripura Sundari at the Tripura Sundari Temple in Banswara. The Vishwakarma Vanshi Sena, which has been conducting this ritual annually, led a grand procession with several vehicles from various parts of Madhya Pradesh, including Indore, Ujjain, and Ratlam. Devotees walked barefoot from the surrounding areas to the temple. The temple was beautifully adorned in white attire to mark the auspicious occasion, with several special rituals, including Ghata Sthapana, taking place in the morning. Garba celebrations will continue throughout the festival, temple manager Jagesh Panchal said. A massive turnout of pilgrims was witnessed at Kaila Devi temples in Karauli and at the Karauli-Bayana road in Jheel ka Bada, Karauli district. Special arrangements have been made for the convenience of pilgrims. Divers have been deployed at Kalasil Ghat near the temple for safety, an official said.
