Monday morning various rituals like Vagishwari Durga Homa, Shiva Pooja and Pushapalankara Maha Pooja were held. Later  Visarjana Pooja was offered to the idol of Goddess Sharada and  other idols of Nava Durgas.

As there  was no Shobhayatra this year which was an annual spectacular show marking the culmination of Dasara, thousands had gathered at the temple premises itself to witness the  conclusion of the Dasara festivities.

Different Huli Vesha teams gave a mesmerizing performance at the special podium set up at the Temple premises,  prior the Visarjana  ritual.  A tableaux with the portrait of  Brahmashree Narayana Guru   was taken in a procession from the temple  and passed through Ladyhill Circle, Lalbagh, Ballalbagh, PVS, K S Rao Road and P M Rao Road and  then returned to the Temple following which the idols were immersed in the Temple lake in the presence of hundreds of devotees as well as  the Temple Committee office bearers.
