Wishing all a Happy Dasara / Vjayadasami to Friends and FamilyWhenever we think of India we think as a land of festivals. Every festival brings with it few days of happiness and joy in the life of the people. Dussehra literally means that which takes away ten sins. This Hindu festival is celebrated all over India to mark the defeat of Ravana by Lord Rama. Dussehra symbolises the triumph of good over evil.
Durga Puja is celebrated all the 10 days. Goddess Durga is depicted as a warrior woman riding a lion or a tiger with multiple hands carrying weapons and assuming mudras, or symbolic hand gestures. This form of the Goddess is the embodiment of feminine and creative energy.
The food which Goddess Durga likes the most is Yellow Rice (Pulihora) or anything made with Rice...
I made 10 varieties of dishes as prasadam for all the 10 days....
Annam Paravannam (Rice Pudding), Pulihora (yellow rice) , Daddojanam(curd rice), Lemon rice (Nimmakaya Pulihora), Ven Pongal (Katte pongali, Rice Pudding), khichdi, Chekkarra pongali (Sweet Pudding), Coconut Rice (Kobbari annam), Capsicum masala rice and Jeera (Cumin) Rice were some of the rice dishes.Today for Dussehra I made Yello rice (pulihora), Jeera rice, Plain rice, dal, Carrot kheer, Sorakaya (bottle gourd) curry, Pudina chutney and Pulusu (soup)
I Hope this celebration of Dussehra turns out to be fruitful.
