Dos and don'ts to follow during Chaitra Navratri 2025

Never end a Navratri fast without Kanya Pujan or without inviting little Kanjaks to your home. In Hindu rituals, the Kanya Pujan after Navratri is considered extremely important, and after 8 or 9 days of intense fasting, prayer, and the like, the festivities come to an end by inviting little girls, respecting them like Goddesses, feeding them good food, and doing some form of charity.
Even if you can’t perform the Kanjak, make sure to make food at home, the usual Poori, Halwa, and Chane, and donate them to the nearby temple.
