Sharda Puja

Sharda Puja is the Puja performed during the Diwali festival along with Chopda Puja. Lakshmi idols are washed and taken to Vishnu temples to offer Puja to him. Other than Lakshmi, Puja is also presented to Saraswati for her blessings. Ganesha is also worshipped to get free from all hurdles. This is only the Puja day on which two Goddesses and one God are glorified. Honored God is called Ganesha, while the worshipped Goddesses are called Lakshmi and Saraswati.

In the evening, students offer Puja to Sharada for her special blessings. The Puja ceremony is specially arranged by the students in the Mander with Satvik material. All students gathered in the temple, took the Puja bowls in their hands, and started the Puja act by placing the idols of Lakshmi, Sharda, and Ganesh in the front. The Ganesha idols are wrapped in the Durva grass, and Ganesha art is displayed on them. While offering Puja, all the students collectively sang Manters and received blessings in the form of success from the god-goddess idols.
