STATEMENT: During Navarathri celebrations, the Kannika Parameshwari temple on Vysial Street has a rather unique practice. It is not the priests but a select group of men who decorate the deity for the day. These men stay in the temple premises during the nine days and perform their duty in the purest way possible. ASSUMPTIONS:
I. There are bedrooms available in the temple premises where the select group of men stay during Navratri.
II. In most of the temples, all the temple decorations are taken care of by the priests of the temple.
III. During Navrathri, it is mandatory to decorate the deities.
