Bhagwan Balaji ki Jai
Navaratri was very divine this year. I am thankful to you all brothers and sisters for being with us to encourage us for the work. My family, from the time of my Grandfather and even before that, from the beginning of the temple, is attached to the Pooja here.
Now, in this generation, me and my brother are blessed by Bhagwan Balaji to spread and share the photos of this festival with you all and the tradition of devotion from my family is also continued thus.
My Pranamas to you all for the support and love you have given to us all these days during Navaratri...:)
I will share some more clippings of pulling and stopping of the chariot which is very difficult and looks hazardous too.
