The lalitha Sahasranama is one of the famous prayers of Sri Lalitha Tripura Sundari Devi, details her charms from head to foot, and describes her as a mother to all beings in the World. Lalitha sahasranamam is a very powerful prayer of Sri Lalitha Tripura Sundari Devi especially auspicious to chant this on Fri days.
On the fifth day of Navaratri s devotees worship Lalitha Tripura Sundari and chant Lalitha Sahasranama and offer Daddojanam (curd rice) or Gudannam (bellapu Annam, jaggery rice) as prasadam. She appears enthroned with her left foot upon the sri chakra, holding her traditional symbols like sugarcane, flower, noose (pasam), goad (amkusam), and right side with Goddess Lakshmi Devi and left side with goddess Saraswathi Devi.

The reason I visit your blogs is not the quality of your blog but the fact that you often prepare my favorites and impart knowledge...

Payasam aka kher is my favorite and I never miss them in any marriage...

Marriages in kerala serve kheer as the last item. I always eat less rice and try more Kheer.... :)

Navaratri and your info on it is nice...


this is how different celebrations and their way of celebrating in different places is known.
