Navrathri or Nine nights festival celebrated to worship goddess Durga for celebration of the destruction of evil. The Devi, the goddess is worshipped on these nine nights and ten days.
These 9 days had always been fun in childhood as we could visit some neighbourhood Golus, where they give either Sundal or snacks. Some houses give gifts too. This year, there was a reversal in role as I had to prepare these sundals on my own.. All 9 days I prepared one of those varieties of Sundal/ Payasam to offer the goddess.It is believed that the goddess remains extremely happy on all these 9 days and offers all her blessings to the devotees.
Day1: Black channa Sunda
Day 2:Green Gram sundal
Day3:Sweet split green gram
Day 4:Pal Payasam
Day 5:Masala Vada
Day 6:Peas Sundal
Day7:Puliogare
Day 8:Split green gram sundal
Day 9:Channa dhal sundal
Day9 was the favourite in my childhood as it is the Saraswathi Pooja where we keep all the books and equipments, machines to Pooja and worship. So I dint have to study the whole day..
Day10:Vijayadasami.. I did Semiya Payasam.
Day 10 Finished the prayers, by starting new tasks..
Divine Nine days!
