Navratri translates to Nine Nights in Hindi and is a very special occasion for Hindus across the Jammu division, especially up in the North India. Navratri celebrations are spread across a period of nine days, which are dedicated to the Goddess Durga and her nine divine forms.

Observing the ritualistic Navratri fasts is also a form of showing devotion towards the deity. During the fasts, one is expected to eat pure vegetarian food. However, there are a set of restrictions in the vegetarian food that must be adhered too. For instance, one cannot consume any grain or legumes. The preparation of all the vrat meals should not have onions and garlic. Moreover, the use of regular (added) salt is also not allowed, only the rock salt (sendha) is used.Navratri Vrat dogra dishes food
