In the north Indian states such as Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan, Navratri is celebrated with great pomp and show, marking the triumph of Lord Rama over the evil Ravana. One can find Ram Leela acts at various places in these cities. These acts are very engaging and entertaining too, reliving the essence of Ramayana! Often, small girls are worshipped by inviting them to homes and serving them delicious ‘halwa poori’ along with some gift items - popularly known as ‘Kanya pooja’. Temples and other religious places are decked up with stunning lamps & lights and flower decor! Some people do fasting for nine days, refraining from consuming alcohol, non-vegetarian food and even onions and garlic. Only satvik food is consumed during these nine spiritual days such as fruits, milk, sabudana khichdi, kuttu ki roti to name a few. This is done to purify one’s body as well as soul from within! People wear ethnic and vibrant clothes and jewelry and dance to the tunes of traditional music. Forts in Rajasthan are popular for celebrating Navratri by performing Sheetla Mata pooja.
