On the cccasion of Devi #Navaratri thread on the Shakti Peethams in Telugu states. The 4 Peethams are at Draksharama, Pithapuram, Srisailam in AP and Alampur in TG.
As per the Puranas, when Sati died, a grief stricken Shiva, carried her body, performing the Tandava in anger. When the gods implored Vishnu to save the world from Shiva's wrath, he cut Sati's corpse into pieces with his Sudarshana Chakra
The places where parts of Sati's corpse fell on earth are considered as Shakti Peethas, sanctified by the holy presence of Devi Maa. There are around 51 Shakti Peetha of which 38 are in India, while Bangladesh has 5, Nepal 3, Pakistan 2, and Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Tibet 1 each.

நவராத்திரியில் கொலு வைக்க தயாராகிவிட்டீர்களா ?

This is #Navaratri / #Dasara.
For long & even today, Dasara is synonymous with #Mysore. It is also the nADa-habba - the State Festival of Karnataka.
Dasara as the State Festival are a contribution of the #Wodeyar dynasty.
“May they prosper forever” - the Yadukula Santana.

Vijayadashami as a Festival has a very long history. Many classical texts trace it back to Mahabharata, although the Vyasa Bharata does not say anything. It, of course, goes back to Ramayana.
In the Classical era & subsequently in the preBritish references are galore.

The Vijayanagar Kings made Vijayadashami - Dasara a very big event, which is recorded by many travellers.
But its the Wodeyars alone who carried this festival to the Modern times. They transformed a cultural/religious event into a State/Civilizational Festival.

They gave me an opportunity to savour that Baani , something that ive always admired and watched since childhood, due to family association.
Today when i look back, the period of training under them was a major factor in shaping my attitude towards a lot of things in life.

From time management, to deep concentration, whatever i practiced then with caution, has become instrinc to me now.

Those who decry Goddess worship in the name of crimes against women....
Their real objective is for the worship to stop and crimes to continue.
Otherwise they would take the opportunity to promote Goddess worship in order yo discourage crime.

After a marriage, Lord Shiva adorned the Goddesses #Parvati forehead with a Chandra made from chandan. This is the reason due to which she is known as #Chandraghanta.
She has ten arms and three eyes, with Shiva’s crescent moon on her forehead. She has golden complexion and is ready for war.
She wears a mala of bells which terrifies demons, as they attempt the silencing of bells, of articulation.
