May this auspicious day brighten up your life with happiness, wealth, joy and health. Happy Durga Ashtami!

The festival of Shardiya Navratri is here, which sees different forms of Maa Durga. The 7th, 8th and 9th day of Navaratri is observed as Maha Saptami, Durga Ashtami and Maha Navami. Maha Ashtami falls on October 13, Wednesday. Right from pandal hopping to Jagratas & Dandiya, Durga Puja is celebrated is different ways across the country. Kanya Bhoj takes place sometimes on Ashtami & Navami and immersion takes place on the 10th day. Maa Durga worship holds special significance during Navratri as it is considered very auspicious to get the blessings of Adi Shakti Maa Durga. Most of the people worship little girls (Kanya) on Ashtami and Navami Tithi. It includes inviting them to the house, worshipping them, feeding them food and giving gifts. The last 24 minutes after the end of Ashtami Tithi and the first 24 minutes from the beginning of Navami Tithi are called Sandhi moment. It is believed that Maa Durga killed the demons, Chand and Munda, during the Sandhi period. To celebrate the festivities on this day.

My earliest memory of the Navratri AKA Garba AKA Dandiya season is that of adorning the best of chaniya choli, ornaments and everything Festive. Come evening time and I would be dancing and twirling to Falguni Pathak's Pari hoon main and all other fun numbers!

In Kerala Diwali was no Diwali as there is no feverish action of making purchases, playing cards, doing prayers for the Lady of Wealth and of course the lighting of the houses and the fire works.

 

Only last Sturday, the folks in the housing complex got together and did some belated Dandiya and the resident babes and mamas performed some high stepping dancing in the great Bollywood choregography routine, set to the screech ing treble and the booming bass routine of remix Hindi songs. All in all a tad sad for the parody of life but fun nevertheless for the majority of the residents.

 

Well there was lots of booze and ok food.. and what else..lots of people and it rained and rained for the first 1 hour and then God relented.

 

Here is a shot of the event waiting to happen...

This kind of dance is performed by groups of men and women in a merry-making occasion !! Rhythmically they will hit the sticks with each other and the clatter of the sticks serves as percussion. In North India this is called "dandiya dance" (dandiya = stick) and Sikhs play this with swords instead of sticks !!
