Navaratri signifies the 9 days celebrating the Hindu Goddess Durga. The festival is observed throughout October and is the longest celebrated Hindu festival to date. The blessings of the goddess are sought after by humans through prayers, fasting, and offerings at Kovils across the World.

 

SIGNIFICANCE OF NAVARATRI

Navaratri is considered a sacred festival related to the prominent fight that occurred between Durga and the demon Mahishasura. It praises the triumph of Good over Evil, admonishing humanity to wake up from ignorance, eliminate all negativities, sanitize the mind and develop positive ethics.

The nine celebratory days are exclusively devoted to Goddess Durga and her nine Avatars – the Navadurga.

 

HISTORY OF NAVARATRI

It is customary and has been to admire and worship the Goddess Durga in Hinduism during the nine festive days of Navaratri. Many ceremonies and customs are observed in various parts of India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other Central and Eastern Asian countries. Its social significance has made a huge impact on cultural and religious diversity over the years.

During these nine days, Hindus fast to wish good health, prosperity and wealth by offering various Prasads. If you want to make the right Prasad, a wide variety of Sweet, Snacks & Savoury items including Boondi and Pongal Pudhinam are go-to’s for sure.
