It will be nice to visit multiple mandirs and do not forget to light up a minimum of 5 Diyas at home, it is suggested.
All mandirs have some sort of celebrations, but here is the list of Mandirs that I am aware of with a live broadcast tonight. The car rally was managed by Chicago Kali Bari. Glen Ellyn, a Chicago suburb, Hanuman Mandir Glenview, Hari Om Mandir Madinah and Shri Ashtalakshmi Temple Naperville.
