Meghnagar (Madhya Pradesh): The nine-day Shardiya Navratri festival commenced at Foot Talab village, on Thursday, with religious fervour and devotees engaging in various rituals and worship practices dedicated to Goddess. At the auspicious time, the idol of Goddess Ambe was installed at the Shri Vaneshwar Maruti Nandan Kutir Hanuman temple in Foot Talab.
