Ganesh Utsav in My village (Konkan) Day 5

Today we want to move our home so that’s why we prepare, see off to my relatives and move towards bus stop my one uncle also come with us, they’re going to market for taking every day stuff.

So we reach bus stop and waiting for bus but waiting after 15-20 minutes no signs of bus and auto rickshaw is also not there. so we have no option without waiting after some time one of my uncle friend also going anywhere in his car so my uncle ask him….where are you going?

And he is also going to market so we get lift from him and we reach Kudal market.

Kudal market and kudal bus stand is adjacent to each other. We reach before the time of bus so we do some shopping and cyber for taking backup of my photos on my pen drive Took some refreshment and come to bus stand after some time bus arrived and we took and reach our home.

Today there is one another festival Gauri Pujan. This celebration is dedicated to mata parvati, mother of lord Ganesh also known as Gauri. Gauri pujan is fall in after fourth or fifth day after Ganesh chaturthi this is all about worship of mata Parvati. In Maharashtra this is also known as Mangala Gauri it is required systematic puja done by Pandit and Its Customs are varying from area to area.
