Celebrating Navaratri.................




Navaratri represents celebration of Goddess Durga, the manifestation of Deity in form of Shakti [Energy or Power]. The Navaratri festival or ‘Nine Nights festival’ becomes ‘ten days festival’ with the addition of the last day, Vijayadashmi (Dussehra) .
On all these ten days,  various forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped across India.
For Navratri Parshad I always make ……Poori, Sooji ka Halwa and Kala Chana , which is also the traditional parshad for Navratri.
