Now I take all of you to my diary

///Morning///

Today I woke up at 5 am and managed to go to the restroom. I had my routine morning chores.After consuming gold charged water I went for a short walk.

I had my bath after meditation 😹 and finished my worship.Then I gave breakfast to my pet cleo and I consumed a glass of milk as i am in kartik Monday fasting.
Today I decided to visit my family god situated 55 kilometres away from Bangalore.

In the meantime my driver came, I and my driver left Bangalore and went to the place where our family god is situated. our relatives arranged kartik puja to our family God.Actually our family has a goddess we call as Nagalamudamma Devi.

This scene is of the lit lamps at the entrance of goddess Nagalamuddamma devi

We reached our place at the temple at 9 am. By the time the puja rituals started it took 12 noon to finish all puja rituals.During my stay I took a few snaps.

///Afternoon///

After completion of puja they distribute prasadam to the fasted devotees,I too received the prasadam.After kartik puja we all talked together for some time regarding total expenses rendered for kartik Monday puja program.Each family in our group shared equally the expense of Kartik puja.

///Evening///

After finishing all the above rituals we left our family temple place and reached Bangalore home at 4pm.After taking rest for a while I went to the Sri Sri Sri Balagangadharanatha Swamy stadium for inauguration of winter sports program near our area.During my visit I took these photographs as below.This sports event will continue for a week.
