Pattaya —
The Mahakali Avatar Chakravartinjanani Temple and the Indian Association of Chonburi recently held a grand procession through Pattaya to celebrate the Navaratri festival.
The possession, which took place on October 9th, aimed to enshrine statues of Hindu goddesses around Pattaya City as part of the ongoing Navaratri festival. The event was led by Mrs. Amporn Kaewsaeng, the founder of the temple, along with Dr. Deo Kumar Singh, President of the Indian Association of Chonburi, and a large number of devoted followers.
The sacred procession featured statues of Goddess Kali, Goddess Durga, Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess Uma, Lord Trimurti, Lord Krishna, Lord Ganesha, and Lord Skanda. The statues were paraded around the city to allow believers to pay their respects and receive blessings during the Navaratri festival, which celebrates victory over evil. The event is being held from October 3rd to the 11th, 2024, with nine days and nights of worship at the Maha Kali Avatar Temple.
The procession began at the temple on Soi Kasetsin and proceeded through Pattaya Second Road, Beach Road, Dolphin Roundabout, and Walking Street. Along the route, numerous devotees had set up altars with offerings, such as fruits, flowers, and incense. Many waited to receive sacred blessings in the form of holy powder and to pray to the deities. After completing the route, the procession returned to the temple.
Navaratri, also known as Dussehra, is a significant Hindu festival in which believers abstain from eating meat for nine days and nights in honor of Goddess Uma, who fought the buffalo demon Mahishasura for nine days and nights, eventually defeating him on the tenth day. The procession is held to commemorate this victory and to receive blessings from the deities.
