Offering Fullpati to Durga Bhavani
BY KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On September 25, 2009, celebrating the seventh day of the Dashain festival, Hindu Nepalis have made offerings of seven different plants such as sugarcane, ginger, banana, rice, marigold and so on to the Goddess Durga Bhavani in their prayer room. All these green plants together are called ‘fullpati’.
On the first day of the Dashain festival, Nepalis have invoked Goddess Durga Bhavani following the family tradition. The process of invoking Goddess Durga Bhavani slightly differs among the Nepalis of even the same community. However, everybody follows the tradition of growing barely plants in the prayer room on the first day and harvesting on the tenth day of the Dashain festival as the blessing of the goddess.
Nepalis have been visiting the shrines to Goddess Durga Bhavani addressed in different names in different places since the first day of the Dashain festival. However, number of devotees visiting shrines to Goddess Durga Bhavani has increased from the seventh day of the Dashain festival.
