SUMMARY:Navaratri 2016 Festival
DESCRIPTION:\nChichester Vedic Society organised the Navaratri 2016 celebrations at Donnington Parish Hall, Donnington. It was celebrated in traditional Indian style.\nNavaratri is a festival dedicated to the worship of the Hindu deity Goddess Durga (the Goddess of Power).\nThe event was a huge success as it was attended by about 100 adults and 30-35 children, all dressed in colourful Indian style dresses and outfits, leaving behind the stresses of daily lives. They all came and joined together for prayers and Ma Goddess Blessings.\nThis year we had not 1 but 2 Chief Guests: Chichester Mayor Mr Peter Budge and Crawley Mayor Mr Raj Sharma. Both the Mayors enjoyed the cultural activities on the day.\nThe day started with Pooja (prayers) from 10am. This was conducted by local priest and was done in traditional Indian style and Havan was also performed with rituals.\nThere were other activities like Live Bharatnatayam dance by children, organised by dance teacher and potter Mrs Vidya Thirunarayan.\nOther activities were Poorna Vidya for children by Hindu Samajam and also fun activity of making Clay Ganesha, which children really enjoyed.\nOther highlights of the day were Garbha gujarati dance on the beats of Live Garbha Music, followed by Dhandhia. The food (Mahaprasaad) was sponsored by Thyme & Chillies traditional Indian Restaurant. The activities concluded by 4:00pm.\n\n			\n						Gallery (Pictures and Videos) Navaratri 2016\n					\n
