Ontario (Canada): It was really a wow spectacle. At a Hindu temple people witnessed this 'incarnation of faith'. There was a huge (at least 1,000) gathering of beautifully dressed women, of various ages - young and elderly - doing the rituals.

Menfolk (most likely their husbands) were sitting along the periphery of the temple hall. Announcements were being made that when the current groups were finished Pooja, they should slowly make way for other women who were waiting with offerings and oil-lamp to perform the ritual. The appropriate folk song was being recited all along. The environment was very colourful and festive.
