Arrangement of dolls during Navaratri at my cousin's place in Bangalore.
This is a traditional practice in Karnataka and also Tamil Nadu. Probably in Andhra Pradesh and Kerala too.

It is a detailed and very meticulous work. And you get transported watching it.
To absorb in silence.

Enjoy, appreciate the effort behind and thanks in advance for sharing 😀. Heart warming that there are still many people like my cousin and his family who keep such traditions alive.

With #Navaratri drawing to a close, taking a look at some of the well known Shakti, Devi temples in Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Apart from these temples, almost every village and small town has a guardian deity, the Ammavaru or Ammoru as we call them.

As per the Puranas, when Sati died, a grief stricken Shiva, carried her body, performing the Tandava in anger. When the gods implored Vishnu to save the world from Shiva's wrath, he cut Sati's corpse into pieces with his Sudarshana Chakra.

The places where parts of Sati's corpse fell on earth are considered as Shakti Peethas, sanctified by the holy presence of Devi Maa. There are around 51 Shakti Peetha of which 38 are in India, while Bangladesh has 5, Nepal 3, Pakistan 2, and Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Tiber 1 each.
