A special puja was performed at Karnataka’s Chamundeshwari Temple by the locals yesterday. This was done to celebrate the third Friday of the Ashadha month.

The devotees started to visit the temple in the morning and offered flowers to the Goddess. According to Local18, the Goddess was adorned with 2000 kilograms of flowers. The Abhishekam performed during the puja included 16 types of liquids. Some of these were butter, ghee, honey and several other substances. According to the information given, 20 vedic scholars engaged in Veda Parayana and performed the special puja.
For the occasion, Goddess Chamundi was adorned with around 10,000 holige and 1,000 kajjayas. It is believed that the Goddess is a lover of jaggery, so the special holige was prepared and offered to her during the puja.
