By: Getdistributors

Cleanse & Decorate

Start the day by cleaning and decorating your house, especially the place where Navratri rituals will be performed by putting flowers and other festive decorations.

Fill the Kalash with water, mango leaves, and coconut and place it as an icon of the divine presence during the Navratri.

Set the Kalash

Worship Goddess Durga and ask her for strength, wealth, and safety along with offerings of flowers, fragrance, and sweets.

Invoke the Goddess

Fasting

Many devotees observe the Navratri first day by taking fruits, milk, or light meals only, which is the prescribed custom.

Offer Charity

Charity is another method of expressing the devotion to Goddess Durga. You not only can donate food, clothes, or basic needs to the poor but this is also considered good.

Cultural Performances

Go to folk music, dance, and cultural programs during Navratri to get the real feel of it.

Attend Puja & Satsang

Attend puja on Navratri, a spiritual gathering, participate in chanting and singing bhajans, and listen to Satsang.

Reflect & Meditate

Set some time for self-examination, meditation, and reflection on how the Navratri festival helps in spiritual development and devotion to the Goddess Durga.
