Each day of Dasara Navaratri, the Goddess is adorned in a special Alankaram, beautifully chosen according to the sacred Tithi of the day. Each Alankaram represents a unique divine aspect and offers devotees an opportunity to connect with the Goddess in a special way.

• Sit near the main Kalasham and the Goddess at the shrine.
• Personally participate in the Archana and offer your prayers.
• Seek the blessings of the Goddess during the special Navaratri worship.
