Navratri, which literally means ‘nine nights’, begins amidst the lock-downs, isolation and quarantine. Although there has been sufficient supply of groceries everywhere, people are avoiding stepping out of houses, unless there is an extreme need of the essentials. In such a situation, utilising every item at home is the need of the hour and that, of course, becomes a struggle for the people on ‘vrats’. During navratri, people worship nine avatars of Goddess Durga. As a part of the rituals, they tend to avoid having several types of foods, alcohol, smokes during these nine days. People, especially the ones who fast, eat light and ‘satvik’ food during this time. The very common food ingredients that are consumed during this time are kuttu ka atta, makhana, peanuts, potato, sabudana, et al.
