Mysore/Mysuru: The 21st edition of Ramsons Bombe Mane will be inaugurated tomorrow (Aug. 7) at 6 pm at No. 91, Main Road, Nazarbad, Mysuru.
As the monsoon is waning, nature is in the revival mode with every tree blushing with happy green and getting ready for the winter which is just around the corner. The first nine days of sharad-ritu, also called as ‘Sharannavaratri’ are the auspicious dates when the Goddess Durga is invoked in most households across India in different avatars and rituals. She is offered love, respect and worship with utmost devotion. In the east part of the country, she is adored as the daughter who is returning to her mother’s home; in the west, she is propitiated as a mother and her fertile womb (garbha) is worshipped with dance and gaiety. Elsewhere, she is the warrior goddess. But closer home, she is venerated as the divine girl. On the first day, she is six years old, on the second, she is seven and so on… On the tenth day, Vijayadashami, she is Shodashi or sixteen years old.
