Hi, Why you left South India like chennai


There also Navratri will be celebrated in a very grant manner. In South India depending on their convenient they arrange steps like 9, 7, 5, 3 and keep dolls like Pilliyar, Lakshmi, saraswathi , sivan etc. etc. in that. All the nine days they do pooja and invite all ladies including children and give them bital leaves, kumkum and some sweets or some eatables. They decorate the house nicely. Daily they put rangoli. In south Indian temple the God will be dressed each day in a different manner like Saraswathi, Lakshmi ,Durga . All nine days evening ladies wear new dress and go to their friends. Ladies go to their mother's house and take blessing of their mothers and elderly people.




I am sorry I missed this section of India. My bad.

^ well even i always have known navratri to be more of a gujju thing. i mean most hindus know about it too, but i think it is more lavishly a gujju festival. i may be wrong though.

I don't think it's just a Gujju thing. It's an all Hindu thing.
Atleast, I think, because I'm from Andhra Pradesh, South India and we celebrate BIG on Navaratri. It's a huge festival (: My favorite actually!
Happpyyy Navaratri to all! Jai Devi Maiyya! 🤗
