Stage arrangement at the ceremony


1) On the main stage, there were huge and beautiful images of Chandikakul and Anjana Mata carrying a young Hanumanta on her lap, on one side and on the other side of the stage was placed, Shatakshi Mata’s image (Shakambhari Mata), which were worshipped during this Utsav.

2) The open ground before the stage had a Parikramakaksha (chamber meant for circumambulation), where 25 pictures were arranged in a way that leads Shraddhavaans to the main stage after taking its darshan. Sadguru Aniruddha had uncovered these pictures by worshipping and offering a tender Shahale (coconut), Gahu (wheat) and flower- garland.

The sequence of 25 images was arranged as follows:

1. Moolark Ganpati
2. Adimata Mahishasurmardini
3. Avadhoot Dattatreya
4. Panchamukha Hanuman

These photos were followed by the pictures, depicting various forms of Adimata:

5. Adimata Narayani
6. Adimata Ambabai
7. Adimata Baltripura
8. Adimata Shrividya
9. Adimata RannDurga
10. Adimata Shardaamba
11. Adimata Bhuwaneshwari
12. Adimata Dandanatha
13. Adimata Tuljabhavani
14. Adimata Nisargamalini
15. Adimata Renuka
16. Adimata MahaGauri
17. Adimata MahaSiddheshwari
18. Adimata Minakshi
19. Adimata Ashtabhuja
20. Adimata Mahayogeshwari
21. Adimata ‘Aditi’ or ‘Shri’ or ‘Shoonyanaam Shoonyasakshini’
22. Anasuya – Durga
23. Adimata Saptashrungi.

These varied beautiful and mesmerizing forms of Adimata were followed by

24. Shri Trivikram and
25. Mahavishnu, with an engraved Kurma (tortoise) on its back. The picture of this Kurma was placed near Adimata’s feet on the main stage. The Shri Yantra engraved on this Kurma’s back is considered extremely auspicious.


3) The hall situated to the left of the main stage housed the Mahapran Hanumanta’s idol on one side and in the next were two idols of Ashwini Kumar which were also unveiled by Sadguru Shri Aniruddha.

4) The ‘Usha Pushkarini Kund’ was placed on the other side of the hall. A Trivikram idol made from Panchadhatu (five basic metals) was erected in the water-filled kund. Sadguru Shri Aniruddha inaugurated both the Trivikram idol and Usha Devi’s picture after performing its worship.
