Navratri is the most celebrated festival of the Hindus symbolizing purity and victory of good over evil . Though the formal ceremonies may differ from region to region , the underlying sentiment remains the same across communities and various States. It combines the ritualistic Puja and fasting with the celebration for 9 nights and 10 days, during the course of which people worship the nine forms of devi Durga. The 10th day is commonly referred to as Vijayadashami or Dussehra. During the first 3 days of the Navratri, Goddess Durga is worshiped followed by Goddess Laxmi for the next 3 days and the last 3 days, Goddess Saraswati is worshiped.
In fact there are some absolutely irresistible fasting recipes which taste even better than the normal dishes. Navratri fasting rules vary from community to community; the basic premise is that the food should be healthy and light.
