In Raisen, you'll have the opportunity to see an 18-foot black mother goddess: artists have given final shape to the forms of the goddess; Maa Durga will arrive on a elephant vehicle.

Preparations for the Sharadiya Navratri festival have been completed in Raisen. Preparations are in the final stages for installing idols of the Goddess in the puja pandals for the nine-day festival starting October 11th. Members of the tableau committees are taking the idols to the pandals while dancing and singing.
