Only when we go home we get to participate.

After the wedding ceremony, the relatives of the girl's side are invited by the boy's side, to their house and conduct this pooja. The prasad is ksheera (rava kesari) with ripe banana. <br /><br />After the pooja, the priest recites the story of Sathyanarayana also, everytime.Sandhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478831923010850316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741045142597397080.post-75520626036845145832009-08-03T14:57:11.153+05:302009-08-03T14:57:11.153+05:30@ZB..thanks.On one occassion i was at my parents h...@ZB..thanks.On one occassion i was at my parents home ...my mom suggested me to go for this custom made pooja,which i did in south indian temple..it was Ganesh puja and the experience was a great one.<br /><br />@Chubskulit....thanks and welcome to my blog...i just visited your blog and i think its wonderful.Kavita Sahariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342095914702911870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741045142597397080.post-39483163598126082632009-08-03T14:25:10.297+05:302009-08-03T14:25:10.297+05:30It is nice to know these stuff thru blogging, I am...It is nice to know these stuff thru blogging, I am learning the global cultures.. thanks for sharing, mind peeking at my site pls?Chubskulit Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001712096042262296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741045142597397080.post-16059112209911468812009-08-03T14:19:45.888+05:302009-08-03T14:19:45.888+05:30i remember attending few similar poojas when we we...i remember attending few similar poojas when we were in north.

I have at times tried to make it without the puja too..but the essence of the aggarbattis and the tulsi leaves that drop on it during the puja were missing, so the taste was not exactly the same.
