Navaratri
Reasons for why we celebrate Navaratri
Navratri which means “Nine Nights” is celebrated to honor the Mother Goddess Durga. Throughout this period, Mother Goddess Durga is worshiped in all of her divine forms including Goddess Durga, Goddess Kali, Goddess Saraswati and Goddess Lakshmi.
We celebrate Navratri for nine days and twice every year. Navratris are celebrated at the juncture of seasonal changes. One at the beginning of summer and other at the beginning of winter.At these seasonal junctures, Mother Nature undergoes a major change, and that is welcomed through the Navratris by celebrating Goddess Shakti, who is an embodiment of Nature itself.
The Hindu festival of Navratri is celebrated for 9 (nine) full days in almost every part of India. The Navratri festival honors and celebrates Maa Durga. The festival chiefly celebrates the victory of good over evil wherein Devi Durga defeats and overpowers the buffalo demon in the form of Mahisasura. The festival is also closely linked to the victory of Lord Rama over demon King Ravana. In all the nine days of Navratri, nine different forms of Devi Durga are worshiped which are Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahaguari, and Siddhidatri. There are different stories behind every goddess.
How they celebrate Navaratri in India :
People set up steps and place idols on them which is known as “Golu.”Elaborate Puja ceremonies are performed, and the Goddess is worshiped with all devotion and dedication.The Utsava Murthy is decorated, and Vedic offerings are performed followed by Chandi Yagna (Homa).Ayudha Puja is also performed where people worship implements which are used in daily life such as utensils, kitchen tools, vehicles, books, and computers.Goddess Durga blessings are invoked for success in coming years. People start new ventures and purchase new household items on these festive days of Navratri.
Why we are advised to take navaratri food in temple :
The common foods allowed during the nine-day Navratri fasting include fruits, vegetables, kuttu aata, sabudana, samak rice, dairy products and sendha namak. And the two most common foods that are not allowed in your diet are onion and garlic. People who observe fast and even many of those who don’t, omit onion and garlic from their foods during the nine-day Navratri.
According to Ayurveda, foods can be divided into three categories, depending upon their nature and the response they trigger in the body after being consumed. The three categories are:
- Raajasic foods -(Rajas and Tamas are referred to things that are unripe, weak, resentful and destructive - junk foods . During Navratri, people are supposed to denoun the worldly foods pleasure and adopt a pure and simple life for nine days. And having raajasic and taamsic foods during this time is believed to distract your focus.)
- Taamsic foods
- Saatvik foods -( Saatvik foods include fresh fruits, curd, rock salt, seasonal vegetables and subtle spices like coriander and black pepper.)
During fasting, people eat saatvik foods. But besides the religious aspect, there is a scientific reason behind it. Sharad Navratri falls in the month of October- November, which also is the transition period from autumn to the winter season. Due to the seasonal change, our immunity tends to decline. Thus, switching to saatvik food during this season gives your digestion some rest and cleanses your body of all impurities.
Garlic and onion omitted , why ?
Onion and garlic are considered to be taamsic in nature and are said to invoke carnal energy in the body. Onions also produce heat in the body and thus are not allowed during the Navratri fast.
Garlic along with onion is known as Rajogini, which means a substance that can make one lose grip over their instincts. This makes it difficult to differentiate between your desires and priorities.

When crackers and sparklers light up the sky
When delighted children jump with joy.

Where everyone enjoys a royal feast
When old and young with delight meet
With love and affection all hearts beat.
That gracious festival which celebrates victory

That is mentioned in both mythology and history
The festival that signals Triumph over Tragedy.
