There is so much to do during Navratri. Haldi Kumkum and aarti of our bombe in the evening and late night Garbha in our society. And weekend late night Durga Pandal Hopping.
There are so many associations around our place, who set up many big and small pandals during Navratri, of which there are few we visit every year.

While Maharashtrian and Gujarati Associations, have idols of Devi in sitting
posture on her vahan(Vehicle) Lion, the Bengali Associations have idols
of Durga, along with Laxmi, Saraswati, Ganapati and Karthikeya. Each
idol and pandal have different themes and colourful decors which
attracts most of the devotees. Here are few of the pics of the Durga
Pandal we visited this year.
There is something new to learn with each visit. This year I found all Bengali association Durga pandals have Shivji's idol or photograph on top of all idols. Do check out the photographs and don't miss the image of Shivji in all of them.
