"Congratulations your highness" The village head wished Deva making him nod as he gave a look to the items in their hand narrowing his eyes.

"Raja vaaru! From tomorrow Devi navaratrulu is starting and it's a tradition that the first to sit in the pooja will be the king and the queen" Poojari gaaru explained politely.

"The president bought the saare for her majesty so she's to wear those for tomorrow's pooja your highness" the royal secretariat said.

Siva came forward making the trio bow a little and the village head signed his wife who came forward and put the kumkuma between Siva's brows and handed her the thambulam (A plate containing saree,mud bangles,tumeric and sindhoor along with jasmine flowers) saying "Please come and invite Devi ma into the village for prosperity and good luck your majesty" making Siva smile and took the plate before walking back and stood behind Deva.

After thambulam poojari gaaru and the president along with his wife took leave. The royal secratariat handed the iPad to Deva making him go through the properties he's going to get hold on and explained the history behind those places as Deva just sat there listening to his banter.

"And finally coming to jewellery, Rani vaaru is going to get the naagamani haaram which has been in your family for generations" The royal secratariat informed and took the jewellery box out asking Maniamma to call Siva.

"There is no need. I'll give it to her later" Deva said making the royal secretariat frown but didn't pry further going with other jewels.

Siva got ready into saree and wore the needed jewellery before walking down to see only workers in the living room and decided to do pooja before they go to temple.

After giving haarati to God she came out holding the haarati plate and showed it to everyone who are in traditional clothes before giving the plate to Maniamma who kept it back in pooja room.

"Wow! Siva mam you look beautiful" Veronica complimented making Siva smile.

"You look like a true indian too" Siva complimented back making Veronica slightly blush.

"Your majesty everything is ready" the royal secratariate informed making Deva nod and walked out with the others behind him to see the ratham (carriage).

"Woah! We're gonna ride in that..." Alex excitedly said.

"His majesty and Rani Sivatmika Devi is going to take the ratham" Krish politely said and opened the door.

Deva got in and extended his hand to Siva making her join their hands and got in behind him as Krish closed the door and nodded at the driver who immediately raised the horse and the ratham moved forward.

"We are going to go there in car so we'd be waiting for his majesty and receive them" explaining Krish walked to the cars making everyone get into them.

As the carriage stopped infront of the temple Siva and Deva got down making everyone join their hands and greet them which Deva returned politely while Siva put her one end of her saree on her right shoulder and walked behind Deva inside the temple.

Siva paused looking at Hima and smiled trying to go towards her when Deva held her hand making her look at him as he started walking inside almost dragging her along with him. Once everyone settled down the poojari gaaru came and started giving instructions of the Devi Pooja.

Siva and Deva washed their feet and hands before sitting infront of the Devi maata idol on silver stools. Poojari gaaru started chanting mantras and put a pinch of kumkuma between his brows before handing the kumkuma box to Deva who applied kumkuma between Siva's brows and on her hairline.

They started showering flowers on the idol along with kumkuma and pasupu while the poojari gaaru asked "Amma! please tell all the gotranamalu".

Before Deva could speak anything Siva started "Veerabhadra Raayala, Narsimha Raayala, Meenakshi Devi Raayala,Shiva Shankara Mahadeva Raayala, Sivatmika Devi Raayala Maharudra Raayala: Shivadi gotram and Radhakrishna Paritala: Cherukunulla gotram" making everyone smile there except Deva who clenched his jaw.

The poojari gaaru repeated the names and gotranamalu before handing the coconut to Deva who broke it and offered to Devi maata along with prasadam before joining their hands and praying.
