The festival is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga and her nine forms, each representing a unique power and energy. The word &#8220;Navratri&#8221; means &#8220;nine nights&#8221; in Sanskrit.<\/p>\n<p>The significance of this Navratri is found in its celebration of a new beginning. Chaitra Navratri marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year and it falls in the spring season. Devotees worship three main manifestations of Shakti meaning power and energy. These manifestations are Durga, Saraswati and Lakshmi and seek their divine blessings during this auspicious time of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Fasting and Navratri special foods are essential components of Navratri, and they play an important role in the festival&#8217;s celebration. Many Hindus fast during the nine days of Navratri in order to purify their bodies and minds and seek divine blessings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoopindia.com\/order-food-delivery-in-train\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-788 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoopindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Navratri-1080x90-cta.webp\" alt=\"Navratri special snacks or Navratri Thali from top verified restaurants with Zoop.\" width=\"1080\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Fasting during Navratri typically entails abstaining from grains, meat, onions, and garlic.
