Later in the evening, there will be Archana with different varieties of flowers. After the Archana, there will be Kirtan, Aarati, Teertha Prasada, followed Dinner Prasad.
All the devotees can participate in this Puja by sponsoring this event. It is said that this festival is performed to save the Earth from natural calamities and appease the Lord to save humanity and all living creatures from catastrophes.
In the scriptures, it is said that the those who participate in this Seva will be rid of all impressions of their past lives and all diseases, thus leaving scope for a peaceful life with prosperity and happiness.
