Navratri Special Food: Celebrating with Fervor and Flavors

Aap Ka Bazar®, a monthly grocery app/website/grocery store(s) wishes you the reader a very happy Navratri that is one of the most awaited festivals in India. Shardiya Navratri is not just a celebration of religious fervor, but a time when communities come together to rejoice in devotion, music, dance, and of course food.

The festival, which spans nine nights and ten days, is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga in her nine different forms. Each day is marked by rituals, fasting, and the wearing of specific colors, all of which hold great significance. However, one of the most delightful aspects of Navratri is undoubtedly the special food that accompanies the celebrations.
