Happy Navratri 2025 Vrat Recipes: Shardiya Navratri is one of the most awaited Hindu festivals and is celebrated in a grand manner. The festival is dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine divine avatars. During these nine days, many devotees observe strict fasting. They avoid certain food items like grains, onions, garlic, non-vegetarian food, and some spices. During fasting, the vrat meals mostly include fresh fruits, sabudana, kuttu ka atta, singhare ka atta, makhana, almonds, cashews, kishmish, potatoes, and lauki.
