But every pooja, I understand that is an occasion to have a grand feast on a long banana leaf . Luckily tradition insists so. Regards.
But secret of having elaborate feast behind all these pooja /festival /vrath seems to be to ensure whole hearted participation of all members of the family to unite and participate in pooja right from cleaning the place, in decoration of deity and its environs, and during inviting GODESS Varalaksmi playing and or singing madhyamavathi indiki baramma, chanting of manthras and karpooraaarathi. God bless.
