Navratri is a nine-day Hindu festival, dedicated to worshipping Goddess Durga. The festival is filled with colors, music, dance, and delicious food. For these nine days, devotees decorate the surroundings of the Goddess’ idol, offer her different prasad, also known as bhog and enjoy her arrival and presence with Garba and a lot of food. We bring you different bhog dishes for your Navratri 2022 celebrations which you can offer to Durga Maa.
9 days of worshipping Goddess Durga, 9 days full of festivities and enjoying different tasty delights, the 9 days of Navratri festival is here. During the celebrations, devotees worship Maa Durga with Navratri colors, never-ending food rides, dandiya, garba, puja, and bhog, i.e., pooja prasad.
One of the most important rituals is Navratri fast, which many communities follow for 9 days straight. Many other communities also show their joy by witnessing various customs, like showcasing Golu dolls in Tamil Nadu, Gujarati Garba, and the special Durgo Puja in West Bengal.
One thing all people look forward to is the food during Navratri!
Non-vegetarian food is strictly avoided during the Navratri celebration, and people prefer vegetarian cuisine with vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, carrots, cucumber, and bottle gourd.
