Chaitra Navratri is a nine-day festival that is dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine forms. Devotees observe fasts to purify their body and mind. The body flushes out the toxins and impurities during fast and promotes overall detoxification and an improved organ function. They abstain from food such as garlic, onion, meat, and alcohol. It is believed that when this fasting is coupled with meditation, it increases the feelings of tranquility and positivity from within.
