Greater Noida: The residents of AIG Park Avenue, a residential society in Greater Noida West, on Sunday engrossed themselves in a religious event 'Mata Ki Chowki'. It was organised by Park Avenue Cultural Committee (PACC) which has been organising cultural activities in society in the past as well.

The religious evening started at 5:30 pm and was filled with devotional songs and bhajans dedicated to the navdevis. All the residents of the society were immersed in the devotional spirit and mesmerising during the performances by the bhajan mandli.

Hundreds of devotees and kids of the society gathered in the park to enjoy the proceedings. All eyes were glued to the stage as they chanted 'Jai Mata Di'. 'Jai Mata Di' was the usual greeting for the evening as everyone greeted each other with the same.

Shiv Tandav and Radha Krishna jhanki were the main attractions that were admired by all the devotees. The event was concluded by a community feast 'Mata ka Bhandara' which was enjoyed by more than 1,400 people.
