....last day of Navaratri....

Today was the last puja to the Divine Mother, where we requested her 

for the protection, peace and prosperity.

Arati Thali!

Afterwards the prasad (food) was served to the nine girls

(and some boys that thought they are invisible)

...

And as a celebration of birthday of Lord Rama, we had the reciting of the story of his most devoted bhakta Sri Hanuman - Sundar Kanda

 Pandit Yogesh Puri and Pandit Jayadev Vyas
