Golu @ My Friend's Place and Chickpeas Sundal

Navratri, Navaratri, or Navarathri is a festival of worship of Shakti and dance & festivities. The word Navaratri literally means nine nights in Sanskrit, nava meaning nine and ratri meaning nights. During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakti/Devi are worshiped during these days. During Navaratri, Sundal or Sweet is served as prasad. Source : Wiki
