PSB, the significant of Phulpati,
Phul is Flower and Pati is leaves and plants. PhulPati literally means flowers, leaves and plants. Bringing Phulpati brings all the nine goddess to your home. All nine plants represent goddess and all goddess represents Health, Wealth and Prosperity. The whole unit assembles at the temple and later goes in procession to the jungle or countryside to collect Phulpati (plants, branches, twigs, and leaves). On arrival at the selected spot a shrine is erected, a sacred fire (Hom) lit and prayers are offered. In the meantime, the Coys entertain themselves nearby in groups with various naach (cultural shows/ dance).
