Lemon Diya For Durga During Rahu Kalam Along With Mantra Chant

Lemon diya for durga during Rahu kalam along with Mantra Chant We find different kinds of rituals performed in temple premises, whenever we visit goddess temples that too Shakti Mata temple, compulsorily during the period of ‘Rahu’ we need to light lamps on lemon (extract juice and fold in the opposite direction and place cotton on skin of lemon) along with kumkum, jacket cloth, dhakshina (offering like money) and tambulam (beetle leaf along with banana and betel nut). Then after we respect other ladies assuming they are the forms of the goddess (Punyastri) and offer tambulam. If we find “Sri Chakra” Archana is being performed in the temple, kumkam offered by the person who such complicated archana needs to be applied on our forehead by chanting “Bindu Trikona Kaashtavatara yugaloka vatra vruthha yutam vasudala vruttakaladala vruttatremahegrakam bhaje”  We will be seen by the goddess and attain blessings. Even our ill fortune will be erased by application of tilak.
