A large number devotees paid obeisance at the famous Bawe Wali Mata Temple on the 3rd day of Navratra on Wednesday.
Long queues of the devotees could be witnessed since early morning right from the main entrance upto the temple.
In order to avoid chaos-like situation, separate queues of men and women devotees were prepared and the devotees continued to throng the Holy Shrine in large numbers to seek blessings of the Goddess.
During the nine-day Navratri festival, devotees worship Maa Durga’s nine incarnations in order to obtain her blessings. There is a goddess manifestation linked with each day of Navratri. During these nine days, people maintain ritualistic fasts, recite shlokas dedicated to each goddess, wear new clothing, offer bhog, and clean their homes.
In their prayers, they ask the goddess for her favour in order to have prosperous, joyous, and fulfilled lives. Over the next nine days, devotees offer their prayers to Goddess Durga and observe fasts.
