VAINA POOJA (Gowri Pooja) GSB Konkani Tradition | Ganesh Chaturthi | LakshmiKamathVlogs

Hello Youtube Family,
We celebrated Vaina Pooja (Gowri Pooja) on August 30,2022. Its a tradition followed by GSB Konkani community. Vaina Pooja runs as a hereditary ritual only in certain families, not all families follow it. A few days prior to Vaina Pooja, coconuts are dehusked and cleaned with haldi water to make it pure. The number of coconuts used in the pooja is always in odd numbers the minimum being 5 and no limit to the maximum. The black spots on coconut are treated as eye and kajal is applied on it. Sindhoor, Sandalwood paste is also applied on it. The coconut is treated as Gowri(Parvati, Ganesha's mother).
A banana leaf is placed , rice is placed on it and then coconuts are placed. Near to it, sugarcane, flower, beetle leaf are placed. On top of coconut is diya placed. The pooja is performed in the presence of PandithJi and the vaina is given to married women. Bangles, sacred thread is given to married woman.

This is my attempt in capturing the culture that we follow. I hope you liked it, if yes, Please hit the like button!
