Navratri Spicial Fastin(gujarati farali) recipes

 Hindu festival of Navratri, which extends for nine days, is celebrated  in different regions of the country. In the eastern state of West Bengal, the festival takes the shape of Durga Puja, when the devotees of the deity celebrate the triumph of good over evil. In north India, Maharashtra and Gujarat, people observe a seven day fast during Navratri and break their fast on Navami (the nine day of the festival) by worship young girls. On the festive occasion of Navratri, fast is observed by people for seven or eight days, depending upon when they want to conduct the Kanchika Pujan (when young girls are worshiped). The devotees, who have observed fast, would get up early in the morning, take bath and offer prayers to the deity. People follow a specific diet for Navratri, if they haven't observed a nirahar (water-less) fast.
