Vijayadashami - Pooja

[Guest guest]

Sri Rama Jayam

 

Namaskarams to all,

 

I understand that the Navarathri culminates on the

Vijayadashami day and also, traditionally, the Chandi

Homam ends (if started earlier itself) or is performed

the day before itself, i.e. on MahaNavami day. Usually

in most households, only there is a small punarpooja

on that day and children are inducted into vidhyabhyasam.

But from a Sri Upasana point of view, what are the

traditional poojas that are performed on Vijayadashami

day by Sri Upasaka? Can a Navavarna pooja be performed

that day or should it be performed on MahaNavami day

itself?

 

In temples also, I have observed, there is only the

Rathotsavam that day. Is there something else that is

performed on that day in the Kanchi Kamakshi temple and

the Kanchi mutt and Sringeri Mutts?

 

Also, when can we see the Acharyals performing Navavarna

poojas? Does it happen daily or only during the two major

Navarathris?

 

I would be most thankful if these are answered?
