[quote=Anonymous]Happy Navratri!!

I'm winding down from my first evening of celebrating the Mother Goddess.

I'm spending these special days by hanging up lights around the house, fasting for the 9 nights with one special vrat style meal.  I do japa and puja after sunset for about 1 hour then have the meal.

(Vrat= fasting.  Since I'm fasting for the 9 nights, I will eat a meal once a day but only certain types of food.  No to wheat, barley, rice, lentils, beans, certain spices, onion, garlic, regular table salt, etc. and obviously no meat or alcohol during this time either. Simple yet delicious food with alternative grains such as amaranth)

I like to wear the Navratri colors for each day.  This year it's the following order:
Grey, Orange, White, Red, Royal Blue, Yellow, Green, Peacock Green, Purple

It's a fun way to get in the spirit, I don't wear head to toe clothes in all those colors, sometimes it can just be a scarf-- of which I have a ton to choose from!

I really looking forward to some fun garba nights too.

May Maa Durga bless you and bring joy, peace and prosperity. Subh Navratri!! Jai Mata Di
