Navratri Fasting: Ayurveda backs light eating after monsoon; non-Hindus can try gentle vrat
Navratri is a vibrant nine-day celebration honoring goddess Durga, taking place each October. Devout Hindus embrace fasting as a method of devotion and self-regulation, harmonious with Ayurveda's teachings on seasonal transitions. Dietary changes involve choosing lighter, healthier food options, often avoiding staples like onions and garlic. This sacred period fosters spiritual growth and encourages an intentional approach to eating aligned with wellness practices.
