•••••••••••••

Temple bell is ringing

Conch blowing sound is on peak

Chief Priest's hymn chanting fills hearts

of devotees divinely 

Devotees made Bhogarpana through 

the Priest

Non-human beings 

such as langurs, bulls, macaques, crows stand

in the waiting list to

taste a morsel of Bhog

from the liberal hands

of devotees

Ghee lamps and incense sticks are

burning 

Burnt Gugal gum smokes completely fills the internal temple premises with divine fragrance accompanied with aroma of incense sticks and flaming camphor pieces 

Devotees dance with

clapping hands chanting Hail Shreeram frequently gleefully

Women devotees offer Huluhuli to gratify the Lord of the Universe

One by one all the male and female devotees receives the effulgency of smoky flame of Karpur Alati ( burn camphor flame offered to Lord ) with wholeheartedly devoted concentration

Ardent devotees offer orange coloured vermimilion to the Priest

The Priest smears the Lord's body mixing with ghee on behalf of the devotees

Every one of them gets back the Bhogas offered 

touching it with own forehead as a mark of

respect to the Lord

Twelve feet tall Lord Anjaneya became

delightful and self content in standing position with leaning club on the left shoulder 

holding with left hand

Then He smilingly  dropped down a ten metres long garland 

of marigold on the ground implying gracious enough for His affectionate devotees 

The Priest with  grave look was dazzling 

He shared the marigold out of the string one by one 

Distributed them among the queued devotees one by one  

The worship ritual of the

beloved Lord was over

All the pious devotees came back home eventually in the Spring forenoon with a joyful loyal spirit amid the cooing of cuckoos 

Gentle southern breeze of Spring King was making mood of all the devotees divinely l serene 

Chanting Jay 

Bajrangbali Jay Shreeram  on the Happy Tuesday forenoon 

That was enlightened by the aura of the Lord of Kali Yug
