Left for Vikaspuri in the evening to assist Venita in management of the Ramkatha from 8 to 16th Dec.in the premises of the society temple there.

All the arrangements for Ramkatha have been made by Venita with the help of others of the society.
Fogging of the area of Ramkatha including the temple of the society is arranged.
8th
Puja started with Venita and me at 8 am followed by Kalash Yatra 11.30 am and Katha 2 to 5.30 pm. Katha Vachak explained the importance of Katha on the day one. Venita with kalash on her head led a procession with colourfully dressed-up ladies in the premises of the society.
Babloo,Neha and Akshat joined in during the day.
9th
Discourse concentrated mainly on Shiva Parvati marriage. Two children were dressed up like Shiva and Parvati. They garlanded each other as part of a staged marriage ceremony.
To prevent mosquitoes, fogging was done in tent, around and in the temple.
10th
Discourse was mainly on Ramjanmotsav.
Over 150 people attended each day. All of them were treated with packets of delicious prasad with different items each day. Panditji's team and others, in all about 25 people including ourselves, took early dinner together.
All of us clapped,sang devotional songs to the tune of a variety of musical instruments. Occasionally groups of ladies danced too. The temple,pandal and the flat in which Panditji's team is treated are decorated with leaves and flowers. As it was birthday of Ram today, Venita had told tent house manager to hang good number of colourful balloons too. An infant acted as Ram and was carried by his mother. Like a doll it was going with a smile to the laps of all the ladies and children.
There is festive atmosphere in the society.
Sunita and Mrs Prasad joined in during the day.
