Navratri is a Hindu festival with nine nights (and ten days) and is celebrated every year during the fall season. It is celebrated with great pomp and show for different reasons and celebrated differently in various parts of the Indian cultural sphere, India, and different parts of the world. The festival is associated with the famous battle between Goddess Durga and demon the Mahishasura and celebrates the victory of good over evil. However, the festival is bound to elaborate prayer services, and the tasty Prasad is prepared and distributed among all the devotees.
If you are someone who also waits for Navratri just for the delicious sweets and food, then for this Navratri season, we’ve got you sorted.
