Deepa Puja
Light is the symbol of knowledge that wards off evil and ignorance.  Most of the time DEEPA PUJA is organized in the month of Kartika (November). During the month worshiping of deepa (lamp) is a significant event in Bhatateeya Tradition. It has a mythological background.
On an ordained day women carrying the deepa sthamba(lamp) and other puja articles assemble  in a common place and perform puja under the guidance of a priest. Bhajans and talks about the significance of DEEPA PUJA also form part of the progrmme.
