On these days, delicious ‘Bhog’ (Prasadam) is cooked and distributed to more than 1,00,000 devotees.
After pooja everyday, a rich cultural show is organised by the people from Bombay and Kolkata. Not only this, there are several food stalls put up in the campus, so, that people who visit here can have the royalty to taste the flavors across India. Apart from this, several commercial companies also put up their stalls and exhibit their products.
On the eve of ‘Ashtami’ (Eighth day of Navratri) ‘Pushpanjali’ is performed where more than 30,000 devotees take part. Special pooja is performed to the goddess with different types of flowers, this essentially signifies that fragrance of love and harmony should spread in the lives of all.

And on the last day of ‘Dashmi’ ‘Sindur Utsav’ is organised where married women participate play with ‘Sindur’ among themselves which essentially signifies the bond between the people would grow stronger with the passage of time. This is followed by the ‘Visranjan’ programme of the idol. This year the theme of the pandal is based on a Rajasthani temple.
