Ahoi Ashtami Puja in Basti: Local Traditions
Basti lies between Ayodhya and Gorakhpur in Purvanchal. Makhauda Dham, linked by tradition with the putrakameshti yagya of King Dasharatha, and the Bhadreshwarnath Mandir of Shiva are the best known places of worship, and Ayodhya is close enough for families to combine a darshan with a family rite.
Basti follows the Awadhi and Bhojpuri North Indian vidhi, explained in Hindi, Awadhi or Bhojpuri, with Saryupareen Brahmin families serving as family purohits. Manas Path and katha are central to most occasions.
