There are 5 Navratri but commonly 2 Navratri are celebrated. Chaitra Navtarti is the very first one. Chaitra Navratri, also known as Ram Navratri, Vasant navratri and some people(like me) also refer it as Spring Navratras. There is a popular belief that the fasting during Chaitra Navratri is to prepare the body for the ensuing summer season. In these 9 days of carnival, nine forms of Durga Maa are worshiped. Whatever form anyone worship, whatever ritual anyone follows, the ultimate goal is to seek blessing and pay reverence to Maa Durga. During these 9 days of fasing, devotees follow strick vegetarian diet and consume Phalahari food. Whenever we have a fasting day coming up, the most commonly used ingredients is Sabudana or Sago Pearls or Pearl Tapioca. Why not try my following recipe,"Sabudana Thalipeeth" this Chaitra Navratri and make it a healthy and happy Navratri.!! Jai Mata Di!
