Chapter 2 Chapter 1:Devotional Princess

Sun rose illumating the Earth with it's rays at the end of Usha prahar(3-6 am)
Birds were chirping flying above to the gardens of Rajmahal of Chandrarajpur.Soilders pacing getting ready for their usual duties.

Peaceful was how the morning started in Chandrarajpur.In the palace maids were seen to be busy collecting materials for worshipping.
Gardens were full of flowers,few being plucked to use for Puja.

On upper floor,in a room decorated with red curtains,different flowers and various diyas lamps.A big queen size bed covered with golden rug.A big mirror with many jewelleries on the table,a figure infront of it tying the knots of the simple yet beautiful blue stone necklace on her neck.

Gentle smile on lips yet a unique glow in those elegant blue orbs.Eyes lined with kohl,medium nose ring of little stones.Her waist length hair in a elegant half-do surrounded with fragnant flowers.Body embrased with a cyan blue lehenga.Fingers painted with red mahavar with a big circular design on palm.



As she finished geeting ready gates of her room(kaksha) opened and a girl of 19 in a simple pink saree entered the room with a thali full of puja materials in her hand.

"Princess,Puja preparations are ready.Flowers will come soon."Sudha,Princess' friend and maid informed princess who turned and smiled at her.

"Thankyou Sudha.Let's go we will start our Puja."holding the thali in her hand both ascended towards templeroom.Princess Tara's anklets making a pleasant chime as her mahavar filled toes moved foreward.

Meanwhile in garden~
"Oh dear.Let's hurry!Princess will start her puja we need to deliver this flowers to her."Maya and Ramya,two maids of palace started running towards temple room.They reached gates of a big room decorated with flowers and a Ghant(bell) on the entrance of the room.Inside various materials of worshipping were kept on the floor infront of a beautiful and divine looking idol of Lord Krinsha and Radha.



Princess sat infront of the idol applying chandal(sandalwood) tikka on the gold idol of radhe krishna at the foot of big idol.


She kept looking at the idol like they were talking through eyes.She put a garland of Mogra(Arabian Jasmine) and tulsi(holy basil)on the idol(Murti).



After giving bhog of makkan mishri(butter and rock sugar) and fruits she blew the shankh(holy conch shell) while others rang the temple bell.

King and Queen came up to offer prayers to Lord Krishna then all stood for Aarti.

(singing)

Graze cows and steal milk butter
Those in need you are their supporter
Oh Lord narayan and vasudev

Oh lord narayan and vasudeva

Govind is mine, Gopala is mine
Baanke Bihari son of Nanda is mine

Pray Govind pray Gopala
Pray to Radha's dear God Govind)



(I tried my best to translate it.I dont wanna hurt any religion by all this.I just wanna depict the devosion of Princess.Sorry If any mistake happened.But do listen to this while reading)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Everyone present there went into a calm and peaceful frenzy.How few words can do their magic nobody knew.The most peaceful one was Princess as she chanted those words in a string of music.It felt like she wasn't in body instead somewhere else
