Special poojas, classical music and dance concerts, folk performances, Navaratri Abhisekham and the spectacular Linga Bhairavi procession and Maha Arati marked the Navaratri celebrations at Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, on Monday. Students of Isha Samskriti performed a musical program called 'Trinayani' on the first day and a large 'Bommai Kolu' of 7 steps has also been set up in honour of local culture and traditions.



Navratri at the Isha Yoga Center every year presents an opportunity for devotees to experience the grace and energies of the Linga Bhairavi Devi. Linga Bhairavi Devi, unique in her manifestation in the form of a linga is the most exuberant expression of the Divine Feminine. On the first day of Navratri, a Kumkum Abhishekam, expressing the raw energy of Durga was offered to Linga Bhairavi Devi. Utsava Murthy was brought in procession in the evening and Maha Aarti was performed in front of the Nandi. A large number of devotees participated in this event and had a darshan of Devi.



Linga Bhairavi was covered in rich turmeric symbolising the glowing spiritual wealth of goddess Lakshmi which is showcased from September 29 to October 1. In the subsequent days, the Devi is coated in sandalwood from October 2 to 4. The Maha Aarti will be performed on September 29 and October 2 at 7.30 pm.

At Isha, every year, the occasion of Navratri is marked by cultural programs including traditional music and folk-art performances. Musicians and dancers from across the country, and students from Isha Samskriti all come together to offer their art to Devi, while also adding colour and joy to the festivities.
