Puja to Siddhidatri
The Puja is offered to the Siddhidatri on Maha Navami. In the literature of the Hindus, it is written that the Puja offering to the Siddhidatri causes unlimited blessings in the form of wisdom to the person offering the worship. The unique bowls provide the Puja and are made with red clay in which the fragrance is mixed. As the bowls get ready, the flowers are decorated on them. The flowers may be artificial or natural, but there are no restrictions to using fake flowers. Our primary purpose is to make the bowl beautiful so that we can use any decorative material. The food items like grains will also be added to the Siddhidatri Puja bowl that will be given to the persons that are the idols of Siddhidatri from the end of the festival in the one year to the start of the carnival in the next year. In this way, the Siddhidatri Puja activity is completed.
