Prasad and flowers adorn the mandir ( the holy shrine).
During the day of the Navratri period, devotees of Durga Maa celebrate with pooja (prayers) and fasting for health and prosperity. Prasad (holy gifts) in the form of coconuts, clothes and Indian sweets are offered.
Flowers and garlands adorn the Godly images which are placed in a mandir (special shrine) in each household.
Garbo ceremoniously placed near the shrine..
During these nine days, an attractively created colourful clay pot with a ‘diya’ (light) is ceremoniously placed near the shrine of the Goddess. This is call a ‘garbo’.
The ‘garbo’ symbolises the human body, while the ‘diya’ represents the soul or ‘atma’.
According to the Hindu religion, these various attributes contribute to the spiritual development of the individual.
