"Your highness" The royal secratariat came forward and stood behind Deva informing "There is a ritual her highness has to do while you start giving prasadam to everyone" making Deva nod and looked at Siva.

"This way your majesty" the royal secratariat extended his hand in the direction of the ritual making Siva follow him outside the temple.

Deva,RK and Prem gave the prasaadam to the people present for the pooja and also the new joiners who stood in a line. When the people saw the royal family they parted making them move forward in line and when Narsimha Raayala extended his hand for prasaadam Deva paused and his gaze went to the now ex-king.

"Noel.." Deva called making Noel immediately excuse himself from the president and rushed to Deva and understood the situation as Deva handed the prasaadam box to him before walking out of the temple.

"Rani vaaru! This ritual is for the king, your husband. Devi maa is a powerful and prosperous godess who always valued her life as soubhagyavati (wife) and also mother of her kids. You have to walk on the burning charcoals for your married life and also the future generations you are going to bear" Poojari gaaru explained making everyone whisper.

"Your majesty it's okay if you don't want to do it" The president said but not surely.

"This ritual is for my husband how can I say no president gaaru" Siva said in a calm voice and nodded to Poojari gaaru who nodded at his wife.

The wives of Poojari gaaru and president made Siva sit on a slab and poured pasupu water,kumkuma water, milk and fresh ganga water on her before applying kumkuma between her brows and handed her a pot instructing "Rani vaaru! You have to cook paysam(sweet) with your own hands and walk on the charcoals by carrying it on your head" making Siva nod and stood up going towards the cooking area.

She cooked the paaysam and after it is cooled down she put it on top of her head before going towards the burning charcoals. Everyone stood around her with joined hands, few of them with the neem leaves as Siva closed her eyes praying inside "Amma! I've always prayed your Mahadev your other half now I'm praying you for my Mahadev, to keep him safe and healthy".

"Har har Mahadev" Siva slowly said and took a step forward on the burning charcoals as Deva came out and saw everyone gathered making him walk towards the crowd which made the people part for him joining their hands showing him respect.

He paused looking at Siva walking on the burning charcoals towards the neem tree which has a small shrine under it as the royal secretariat rushed to Deva explaining "Your highness! Rani vaaru is performing the ritual" making Deva gaze cut to him sharply.

After walking on the charcoals Siva placed the pot on top of her head infront of the shrine and joined her hands praying to Ammavaru and gave haarati before showing it to everyone making them take the blessings.
