Shardiya Navratri 2023: The festival of Navratri has special significance in the Hindu religion. Often people start preparing for it a month in advance. This festival of Navratri comes twice a year and lasts for nine days. Nine goddesses are worshiped during this period. This festival dedicated to Mother Durga shows blessings to everyone. Along with this, the problems of our life also go away. The second Navratri of the year, called Sharadiya Navratri is about to begin soon.

Shardiya Navratri has special significance in the Hindu religion. It starts from the Pratipada date of Shukla Paksha of Ashwin month. This time it will start on Sunday 15 October 2023. The festival of Vijay Dashami will be celebrated on 24 October. This festival is dedicated to the worship of Mother Ambe. However, during this time some devotees make mistakes that they regret later. In this episode, let us know which mistakes should not be made during these special days of Navratri.

Non-vegetarian food
The nine days of fasting of Mata Rani are very special for everyone. During this time everyone worships Mother Durga. In such a situation, avoid non-vegetarian food. Also, do not allow other members of the house to eat it.


Avoid garlic and onion
During Navratri, offerings are made to Mata Rani. During this period, do not use onion and garlic at home even by mistake. Since ancient times, garlic and onion have been kept in the category of tamasic food.

Cutting hair or nails
Often people cut nails during Navratri. However, it is not right to do so. In Hindu religion, cutting of hair and nails during any fast is considered inauspicious. Therefore it is advised not to do this.

Alcohol and tobacco
Consuming alcohol and tobacco is harmful to health. Often people consume alcohol even during Navratri. During this time Mother Goddess is worshipped. Therefore stay away from all these things.

Don't waste food
Wasting food even on ordinary days is like a sin. We should never waste food. This is considered extremely insulting. Don't do this even by mistake during Navratri. During this time you need to exercise patience.
