Day 7th - Satyanarayan Pooja


On the seventh day of Navratri, Satyanarayan Poojahad been arranged. The preparations commence right from the previous night. Everyone lend a hand for the preparation; with the kids at their enthusiastic best. We were all decked up with the arrangements. Mr. & Mrs. Abhijit were given the honour for the pooja which started at 4 p.m.  The Satyanarayan pooja lasted till the evening which ended up delightfully.        Shortly everyone took the blessing of the Satyanarayan god and asked for prosperity & peace. Latter was the program for women; Haldi-Kumkum. Since the color of the day was yellow, all women were magnificently clad in traditional yellow saris. The brilliant yellow colour was seen harmoniously flowing throughout the evening. Then began the evening aarti where everyone came to seek the blessing of the Devi Maa.


The most hyped event of the day, which began with zest, was Disco Dandiya.  The youngistaanis were enjoying dandiya with full vigor. Their high spirits were never dampened by their tired bodies. After such wonderful performances by everyone, many of the group went to the Bhandara organized by the community of building no 7.  Then we started making preparation for the next day. Bhandara had to be organized here which was an arduous and demanding task. Everyone lend their hand for this. Keeping the campus clean to making arrangements for the next morning was the task of the day. Even the results of the drawing and memory test were displayed near the gate. 




 Thus the seventh day got over with a lot of activities; with the preparations for the next day on the rise. Thus all this made the day and night full of excitement and joy.
