Wahanas for Four Deities
There is an exquisite vehicle of Devasthan. At the top of this, there is a small decorated ‘niche’ for Shree Lakshmi Narayan. Below this, there is a bigger space for the Idol of Shri Ramnath. On either side of Shri Ramnath, there are two bigger ‘niches’ (Devare) for the idols of Goddesses Shree Shanteri and Shree Kamaksha. They are attached to the main Asana by strong hinges so that they could be folded while bringing the “Wahana” out of the main entrance of the temple. On the anniversary day of Shikar Kalasha Pratishta, this Wahana is placed in a beautifully decorated Mandap erected on two boats floating in Talli Naukavikar.
Khandyavarcha Ratha
This ratha has special significance. During the unfortunate bad days when Deities were being shifted from Loutolim, Shri Ramnath Deity was rested overnight in the Adpaikar’s House, at Adpai, at the bank of River Zuari. The Adpaikars helped the safe transition of the Deity to Ramnathi, which was the safe place as per the Divine indication. This event is celebrated by Adpaikars along with Mahajans and Kullavis during the Mahashivaratri Festival. The Adpaikars stay overnight in the precincts of the Devasthan in the Agrashala on the previous day of the celebration. On Vadhya Chaturdashi / Amavasya in the month of Magh, at 5.00 a.m. an Idol Brass Nagha is seated in this Ratha and the procession is taken out from Devasthan to Mahadwar near Talli. The Ratha procession then comes back to Devasthan’s Sabhamantap ceremoniously with all Adpaikars, Mahajans, and Kullavis dancing to the tune of Dholl & Tashas.
